There are a few ways to find this, but the answer depends on whether we can repeat numbers in the combination and if the order matters.
If we cannot repeat numbers and order matters:
# combinations = 9*8*7*6*5*4 = 60480
There are 9 choices for the first digit, 8 for the second (because one is already taken), and so on. We multiply the choices for each digit to find the total number of choices.
If we can repeat numbers and order matters:
# combinations = 9^6 = 531441
There are 9 choices for each of the six digits.
If we cannot repeat numbers and order does not matter:
# combinations = 9!/(6!*3!) = 84

you have 6 digits, and each digit can be 1 of 9 numbers... so the number of permutations would be:
9 x 9 x 9 x 9 x 9 x 9 = 9^6 = 531441
if numbers could not repeat (i.e. each digit must be unique) it would be:
9 x 8 x 7 x 6 x 5 x 4 = 60480
Hope this helps!

If the numbers can be repeated, then you have
9^6 = 531,441
If the numbers can not be repeated,
9 x 8 x 7 x 6 x 5 x 4 = 60,480

60480
For the first digit you could chose from 9 numbers, for the second from 8, for the third from 7, and so on. You must do this for 6 different digits.
So..
9x8x7x6x5x4=60480

if you include the digit 0, there are 10^6=1,000,000

The first digit can be one of 9 numbers, the next one of 8, the next one of 7, etc.
So...
9x8x7x6x5x4= 60,480
