Rectangular Grid Tool

I have a question!

So I have an area 7.6 in. by 9 in. and apply a rectangular grid with 45 horizontal dividers and 38 vertical dividers with a .5pt stroke, basically creating a grid with .2 in. squares. I then applied a separate rectangular grid that has 90 horizontal dividers and 76 vertical dividers and with a .5pt stroke, creating a grid of .1 in. squares.

If I have both of those rectangular grids visible, they do not line up as they should except at the outermost edges. Each of the .2 in. squares should "contain" four of the .1 in. squares, but it's not lining up that way, except on the extreme edges, as a I mentioned.

Any idea why this happens?

I'm tired  so may be wrong but i think you may need one less divider each way

for example

3 x 3 dividers gives a 4 by 4 grid

so maybe you have 46 squares one way not 45 throwing your maths off

as 9 divided by 46 is not .2

Ahh, that was it, thank you! I had the "Use Outside Rectangle As Frame" box ticked and didn't even think about this. It's common sense really, although very easy to overlook, or at least it was for me! Thank you so much, this was driving me crazy!
