It appears that each sum of a Dirichlet eta function is 1/2^(x-1) less than the zeta(x), where x is a positive integer > 1. In this case, eta(x) = eta(6) = (31/32)*zeta(6) = 31*(Pi^6)/30240. Therefore eta(6) = 1/2^(6-1) or 1/32nd less than zeta(6) (see A013664). [Edited by Petros Hadjicostas, May 07 2020]

Formula

eta(6) = 31*(Pi^6)/30240 = 31*A092732/30240 = Sum_{n>=1} (-1)^(n+1)/n^6.
eta(6) = lim_{n -> infinity} A136677(n)/A334605(n). - Petros Hadjicostas, May 07 2020
