6 ( six) is the following 5 and preceding 7.

The for 10006 is (E), and for its reciprocal (a).

In mathematics
6 is the smallest positive integer which is neither a nor a . Six is the second smallest ; its proper are , and .

Since six equals the sum of its proper divisors, six is the smallest , , and $\mathcal\left\{S\right\}$-perfect number.

As a perfect number:

• 6 is related to the 3, since . (The next perfect number is 28.)
• 6 is the only even that is not the sum of successive odd cubes.David Wells, The Penguin Dictionary of Curious and Interesting Numbers. London: Penguin Books (1987): 67
• 6 is the root of the 6-aliquot tree, and is itself the of only one number; the , .

Six is the only number that is both the sum and the product of three consecutive positive numbers.Peter Higgins, Number Story. London: Copernicus Books (2008): 12

Unrelated to 6 being a perfect number, a of length 6 is a "perfect ruler".Bryan Bunch, The Kingdom of Infinite Number. New York: W. H. Freeman & Company (2000): 72 Six is a .

Six is the first discrete biprime (2 × 3) and the first member of the (2 × q) discrete family.

Six is a unitary perfect number, a harmonic divisor number and a superior highly composite number, the last to also be a . The next superior highly composite number is . The next primorial is .

There are no Graeco-Latin squares with order 6. If n is a natural number that is not 2 or 6, then there is a Graeco-Latin square with order n.

There is not a prime p such that the multiplicative order of 2 modulo p is 6, that is, ord p(2) = 6. By Zsigmondy's theorem, if n is a natural number that is not 1 or 6, then there is a prime p such that ord p(2) = n. See for such p.

The ring of integer of the sixth cyclotomic field , which is called Eisenstein integer, has 6 units: ±1, ±ω, ±ω2, where $\omega = \frac\left\{1\right\}\left\{2\right\}\left(-1 + i\sqrt 3\right) = e^\left\{2\pi i/3\right\}$.

The smallest non- group is the S3 which has = 6 elements.

S6, with 720 elements, is the only finite symmetric group which has an outer automorphism. This automorphism allows us to construct a number of exceptional mathematical objects such as the S(5,6,12) , the of order 4 and the Hoffman-Singleton graph. A closely related result is the following theorem: 6 is the only natural number n for which there is a construction of n objects on an n-set A, invariant under all permutations of A, but not naturally in one-to-one correspondence with the elements of A. This can also be expressed category theoretically: consider the category whose objects are the n element sets and whose arrows are the between the sets. This category has a non-trivial to itself only for .

Six similar coins can be arranged around a central coin of the same radius so that each coin makes contact with the central one (and touches both its neighbors without a gap), but seven cannot be so arranged. This makes 6 the answer to the two-dimensional kissing number problem. The densest of the plane is obtained by extending this pattern to the lattice in which each circle touches just six others.

A cube has 6 faces
6 is the largest of the four .

A six-sided is a hexagon, one of the three regular polygons capable of . representing hexagons (including six) are called . Because 6 is the product of a power of 2 (namely 21) with nothing but distinct (specifically 3), a regular hexagon is a constructible polygon.

Six is also an octahedral number. It is a triangular number and so is its square ().

There are six basic trigonometric functions.

There are six convex regular polytopes in four .

The six exponentials theorem guarantees (given the right conditions on the exponents) the transcendence of at least one of a set of exponentials.

All primes above 3 are of the form 6 n ± 1 for n ≥ 1.

Hexa
Hexa is classical for "six". Thus:
• "" combines hexa- with the Latinate decimal to name a of 16

• The prefix "hexa-" also occurs in the of many chemical compounds, such as which has 6 carbon atoms ().

The prefix sex-
Sex- is a prefix meaning "six". Thus:
• Senary is the ordinal adjective meaning "sixth"
• People with have six fingers on each hand
• The measuring instrument called a got its name because its shape forms one-sixth of a whole
• A group of six musicians is called a
• Six babies delivered in one birth are
• pairs – Prime pairs differing by six are sexy, because sex is the Latin word for six.

Evolution of the glyph
The evolution of our modern glyph for 6 appears rather simple when compared with that for the other numerals. Our modern 6 can be traced back to the of , who wrote it in one stroke like a cursive lowercase e rotated 90 degrees clockwise. Gradually, the upper part of the stroke (above the central squiggle) became more curved, while the lower part of the stroke (below the central squiggle) became straighter. The Arabs dropped the part of the stroke below the squiggle. From there, the European evolution to our modern 6 was very straightforward, aside from a flirtation with a glyph that looked more like an uppercase G.Georges Ifrah, The Universal History of Numbers: From Prehistory to the Invention of the Computer transl. David Bellos et al. London: The Harvill Press (1998): 395, Fig. 24.66

On the seven-segment displays of calculators and watches, 6 is usually written with six segments. Some historical calculator models use just five segments for the 6, by omitting the top horizontal bar. This glyph variant has not caught on; for calculators that can display results in hexadecimal, a 6 that looks like a "b" is not practical.

Just as in most modern , in typefaces with the 6 character usually has an ascender, as, for example, in .

This numeral resembles an inverted 9. To disambiguate the two on objects and documents that can be inverted, the 6 has often been underlined, both in handwriting and on printed labels.
