What sets Number 6 Meaning apart
Six is the first perfect number: its proper divisors 1, 2 and 3 add to 6, and they also multiply to 6. Euclid and Nicomachus treated perfect numbers as a special class, and Augustine in The City of God took six as a sign of completeness because creation was told in six days. Those facts, not later numerology, give 6 its link with harmony and a finished whole.
- Arithmetic: 1 + 2 + 3 = 6 and 1 × 2 × 3 = 6, the first perfect number
- Next perfect number: 28, then 496
- Source: Augustine, The City of God, XI.30, on six as perfect
- Letters: F, O and X in the Pythagorean table
- Derives from: master 33/6
Often mistaken for something else: Number 9 is complete as an end; 6 is complete as a whole made of its own parts.
