What is the number 6?
The number 6 is an even number that comes just after 5 and right before 7. It is not a prime number because it can be evenly divided by 2 and 3, in addition to 1 and itself. In American politics, John Quincy Adams was the 6th president of the United States. He served from 1825 to 1829 and was the son of the 2nd president, John Adams. In math, 6 is a perfect number because the sum of its divisors (1, 2, and 3) equals 6. In nature, insects like ants, bees, and butterflies all have 6 legs. In geometry, a hexagon is a shape with 6 sides, commonly seen in honeycombs built by bees. In entertainment, standard dice used in board games have 6 sides, and rolling a six is often the best outcome. In sports like volleyball, each team has 6 players on the court during play.
