To find the numerical equivalent of \( 99 \cdot 9^{-6} \), we start by calculating \( 9^{-6} \).

Recall that \( 9^{-6} \) means \( \frac{1}{9^6} \).

Now, let's calculate \( 9^6 \):

\[ 9^6 = (9^3)^2 = 729^2 \]

Calculating \( 729^2 \):

\[ 729 \times 729 = 531441 \]

Thus, \( 9^6 = 531441 \), and therefore:

\[ 9^{-6} = \frac{1}{531441} \]

Next, we multiply \( 99 \) by \( 9^{-6} \):

\[ 99 \cdot 9^{-6} = 99 \cdot \frac{1}{531441} = \frac{99}{531441} \]

This means:

\[ 99 \cdot 9^{-6} = \frac{99}{531441} \]

Now, since you requested the answer without exponents, the numerical equivalent of \( 99 \cdot 9^{-6} \) is:

\[ \frac{99}{531441} \]

This fraction cannot be simplified further, so the final answer is:

\[ \frac{99}{531441} \]
