Answer 1

Multiplier is there for creating Proportional Constraint. Auto Layout calculates the first item’s attribute to be the product of the second item’s attribute and this multiplier. Any value other than 1 creates a proportional constraint.

In your case, 6:1 means multiplier is 6/1 = 6. Which means

view.leading  = Superview.leadingMargin*6

replace : with / - you will understand what it means.
