In mathematics
6 is the smallest positive integer which is neither a square number nor a prime number. Six is the second smallest composite number; its proper divisors are
1, 2 and 3.[1]

Since six equals the sum of its proper divisors, six is the smallest perfect number,[1] Granville number, and -perfect number.[2][3]

As a perfect number:

6 is related to the Mersenne prime 3, since 21(22 – 1) = 6. (The next perfect number is 28.)
6 is the only even perfect number that is not the sum of successive odd cubes.[4]
6 is the root of the 6-aliquot tree, and is itself the aliquot sum of only one number; the square number, 25.

Six is the only number that is both the sum and the product of three consecutive positive numbers.[5]

Unrelated to 6 being a perfect number, a Golomb ruler of length 6 is a "perfect ruler".[6] Six is a congruent number.[7]

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

Six is a unitary perfect number,[8] a primary pseudoperfect number,[9] a harmonic divisor number[10] and a superior highly composite number,[11] the last to
also be a primorial.

There are no Graeco-Latin squares with order 6.[12] 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, ordp(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 ordp(2) = n. See A112927 for such p.

The ring of integer of the sixth cyclotomic field Q(ζ6) , which is called Eisenstein integer, has 6 units: ±1, ±ω, ±ω2, where .

The smallest non-abelian group is the symmetric group S3 which has 3! = 6 elements.[1]

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) Steiner system, the projective plane 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 isomorphic 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 bijections between the sets. This category has a non-trivial functor to itself only
for n = 6.

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.[13] The densest
sphere packing of the plane is obtained by extending this pattern to the hexagonal lattice in which each circle touches just six others.

6 is the largest of the four all-Harshad numbers.[14]

A six-sided polygon is a hexagon,[1] one of the three regular polygons capable of tiling the plane. Figurate numbers representing
hexagons (including six) are called hexagonal numbers. Because 6 is the product of a power of 2 (namely 21) with nothing but
distinct Fermat primes (specifically 3), a regular hexagon is a constructible polygon.

Six is also an octahedral number.[15] It is a triangular number[16] and so is its square (36).

A cube has 6 faces There are six basic trigonometric functions.[17]

There are six convex regular polytopes in four dimensions.

The six exponentials theorem guarantees (given the right conditions on the exponents) the transcendence of at least one of a set of exponentials.[18]

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

Greek and Latin word parts

Hexa
Hexa is classical Greek for "six".[1] Thus:

"Hexadecimal" combines hexa- with the Latinate decimal to name a number base of 16[19]
A hexagon is a regular polygon with six sides[20]
L'Hexagone is a French nickname for the continental part of Metropolitan France for its resemblance to a regular hexagon
A hexahedron is a polyhedron with six faces, with a cube being a special case[21]
Hexameter is a poetic form consisting of six feet per line
A "hex nut" is a nut with six sides, and a hex bolt has a six-sided head
The prefix "hexa-" also occurs in the systematic name of many chemical compounds, such as hexane which has 6 carbon atoms (C6H14).

The prefix sex-

Sex- is a Latin prefix meaning "six".[1] Thus:

Senary is the ordinal adjective meaning "sixth"[22]

People with sexdactyly have six fingers on each hand
The measuring instrument called a sextant got its name because its shape forms one-sixth of a whole circle
A group of six musicians is called a sextet
Six babies delivered in one birth are sextuplets
Sexy prime pairs – Prime pairs differing by six are sexy, because sex is the Latin word for six.[23][24]

The SI prefix for 10006 is exa- (E), and for its reciprocal atto- (a).

Evolution of the glyph

The evolution of our modern glyph for 6 appears rather simple when compared with that for the other numerals. Our X-ray of a polydactyl human
hand with six fingers
modern 6 can be traced back to the Brahmi numerals of India, which are first known from the Edicts of Ashoka circa
250 BCE.[25][26][27][28] It was written 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
The first appearance of 6 is in the Edicts of Ashoka
an uppercase G.[29]
circa 250 BCE. These are Brahmi numerals, ancestors of
On the seven-segment displays of calculators and watches, 6 is usually written with six Hindu-Arabic numerals.

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 typefaces, in typefaces with text figures the 6 character usually has an ascender, as, for example, in
.[30]

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. The first known "6"
