I know you were just rounding it off in laymen's terms.
Yes I was just rounding off.

Just like my lathe says I cant cut 11.5 threads per inch but I can if I convert it to metric threads or at least get so close it doesn't matter with a gear swap.
Pitch in inches 0.08696 converted to metric is 2.209 MM.
The lathe will cut 2.2.
This is less than run out or imperfections.
