Find the exact probability of rolling a specific total sum with any number of standard six-sided dice.
With multiple dice, some totals are far more likely than others because there are more ways to combine the individual dice rolls to reach that sum.
Probability (%) = (Number of Ways to Reach the Sum ÷ 6^(Number of Dice)) × 100
With 2 dice, there are 6 ways to roll a sum of 7 (1+6, 2+5, 3+4, 4+3, 5+2, 6+1) out of 36 total outcomes, giving a probability of 16.67% - the most likely sum with 2 dice.
For a single fair die, each face has a 1/6 chance; for multiple dice, probabilities of specific sums use combinatorics to count favorable outcomes over total possible outcomes.
7 — it has the most possible combinations (6 out of 36) compared to any other sum.
There's only one way to roll a 2 (1+1), but six different combinations add up to 7, making 7 far more probable.
