What are the odds of rolling 6 same numbers in a six sided die?

The probability of rolling the same number six times on a standard die is (1 in 6)5 or 1 in 7776, or about 0.0001286.
The reason the exponent above is five instead of six is that the probability of rolling "some" number on one die is 1, so you need to look at the probability of the other five dice matching the first die.
It would not matter if you rolled one die six times, or six dice one time. The odds are the same.

one in six 1:6 six sides, one of which is a six same odds for any of the numbers
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.)

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.

What are the odds of rolling a 7 with two dice?
The odds of rolling a 7 with two dice is 6 in 36, or 1 in 6.Two six-sided dice will yield 36 different possible combinations in one roll. Note that rolling 1 and 6 is not the same as rolling 6 and 1. Yes, they both equal 7, but for the purposes of determining probability, each throw is unique. There are 6 possible ways to throw a 7, and they are 1-6, 2-5, 3-4, 4-3, 5-2, and 6-1. With 36 different possible outcomes, that means that 6 in 36 of those outcomes results in a 7. The odds of getting a 7 are 6 in 36, or 1 in 6 (reducing the two terms).We sometimes see the terms "odds" and "probability" interchanged, but it is important to distinguish them mathematically.
