If you have 6 dice and you roll them one at a time (to explain this more easily but it works if you roll them simultaneously).
It doesn't matter what your first number is, so the odds of you getting that number is 1/1.
The second roll you have a 1/6 chance of getting the same number and this will be the same for the third, fourth, fifth and sixth dice.
Thus, you multiply each of these odds out.
1 x 1/6 x 1/6 x 1/6 x 1/6 x 1/6
Which equals a 1/7776 chance of rolling six of a kind in any one go.
If you have already rolled a six of a kind, it will still be a 1/7666 chance of getting it again because your previous actions do nothing to influence the chances of your future actions.
If you are wondering what the chances of rolling two 6 of a kinds over 2 goes you have to multiply the chances of getting a 6 of a kind by the number of times you want to get them (so (1/7776)2) which equals 1/60466176.
The formula used for working this out is (1/Ns)Nd-1
Where Ns is the number of sides on each die and Nd is the number of dice. It is minus 1 because it doesn't matter what is thrown on the first roll. If it matters what you roll (e.g. you have to throw a six every time), then on your first roll you have a 1/6 chance of rolling that number and so the -1 is not necessary in the formula.

What are the odds of rolling 2 three of a kind using 6 dice in one roll?

What are the odds of rolling 6 of any specific number using 6 dice in one roll?
The odds of rolling any specific number in one roll of one die is 1 in 6. Each die is unrelated, so the odds of rolling the same specific number using six dice in one roll is 1 in 6 to the 6th, or 1 in 46,656.
What are the odds of rolling any three pair of numbers using 6 dice?
The odds of rolling any number in one roll of one die is 1 in 1. The odds of rolling the same number in one roll of one die is 1 in 6. Each die is unrelated, so the odds of rolling a pair using two dice in one roll is 1 in 1 times 1 in 6, or 1 in 6.Now, look at the second pair of dice. The odds of rolling any number other than a number on the first pair is 5 in 6. The odds of rolling the same number in one roll of one die is 1 in 6. Each die is unrelated, so the odds of rolling a pair using two dice in one roll, not the pair in the first roll is 5 in 6 times 1 in 6, or 5 in 36.Now, look at the third pair of dice. The odds of rolling any number other than a number on the first two pairs is 4 in 6. The odds of rolling the same number in one roll of one die is 1 in 6. Each die is unrelated, so the odds of rolling a pair using two dice in one roll, not one of the first two pairs is 4 in 6 times 1 in 6, or 4 in 36.To compute the total odds of rolling three pairs of numbers using 6 dice, simply multiply these odds together. That is 1 in 6 times 5 in 36 times 4 in 36, or 30 in 7776. Reducing that to lowest common fraction, you get 5 in 1296.(This calculation assumes that the three pairs are different. If two or three of the pairs are allowed to be the same, the computation is different.)
