Sorry, you are not getting what OP was confused about.
The OP thought 10dollar of loans existed for every 1dollar of deposits. That is what I address. Instead for every say 9 dollars of loans there exists 10dollars of deposits.
You are agreeing with me. The outstanding loans are/should never be greater in value than the outstanding deposits. Aka: they should be a sub 1.0 fraction. Of course the fraction reserve aspect is the inverse ratio, itself also below 1.0.
