When rolling a 6-sided die, there are 6 possible outcomes: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6.
The probability of rolling a specific number, such as 1, is given by the formula:
\[
P(1) = \frac{\text{Number of favorable outcomes}}{\text{Total number of possible outcomes}}
\]
In this case, there is 1 favorable outcome (rolling a 1) and 6 possible outcomes (the faces of the die):
\[
P(1) = \frac{1}{6}
\]
So, the simplified answer is:
\[
\frac{1}{6}
\]
