When coming up with the probability of an outcome, divide the outcome you're looking for by the total number of possible outcomes. In a coin toss, the probability of either side is 1 ⁄ 2, as there are two total outcomes. With dice, which have six sides, the probability of one of the numbers landing on top is 1 divided by 6, or 1 ⁄ 6.
