When faced with word problems like this, the best thing to do is set up an equation.
The word "product" always denotes the multiplication of numbers. "15 less than" means that we will be subtracting 15. And the word "is" often tells where the equals sign will be. The "mystery number" can be represented by any variable, so I'll just use x. So by piecing the words together, we get the equation:
6x-15=3
Now we must solve the equation. Adding 15 to both sides will give us
6x=18
Now we just have to divide both sides by 6 to get
x=3
To make sure the answer is correct, plug it back into the original prompt. Is 3 fifteen less than the product of 3 and 6? Yes. So we know that the answer is 3.

Why is15 a deficient number?
That means that the sum of the number's factors, less than the number itself, is less than the number in question - in this case, if you add the factors of 15 (except 15 itself, which is also a factor of 15), you get a total that is less than 15.
