A die is thrown once. What is the probability that the score is a factor of 6?

The factors of six are 1, 2, 3 and 6, so the Number of ways it can happen = 4
There are six possible scores when a die is thrown, so the Total number of outcomes = 6

So the probability that the score is a factor of six = 4/6 = 2/3
