    if you think that every combination would be possible
    and 6 digit number is required
    then the way should be like this
    first digit could be 1 of the 42 possible number
    second digit could be 1 of the 42 possible number
    third…
    .
    Sixth Digit ……
    then the result will be 42*42*42*42*42*42= 5 489 031 744
    if you could eliminate some probabilities or choices such as
    111111, 123456 etc.. the combinations will be less.
