6 (first perfect number) = 1+2+3 = 1*2*3
Six is a number perfect in itself, and not because God created the world in six days; rather the contrary is true: God created the world in six days because this number is perfect, and it would remain perfect, even if the work of the six days did not exist. St. Augustine
