If when you roll a dice, there’s a 1/6 chance of getting a given number, what are the odds of getting a given number when you roll 6 times?

If you roll 6 times, what are the odds of getting a given number? It can’t be 100%, since there’s a good chance you won’t get the number on any roll, so what percent is it?

Edit: A lot of you are misinterpreting the question. I am asking what the combined odds are to get a given number at least once, not just the 6th roll.

1/6 * 6 =100. Say you want to roll a 4. Stastically speaking, its near a 100% chance that a 4 will turn up at least once in 6 rolls.
