BOTH OF THIS ONE MINUTE DIFFRENT WORK TIM5 IS CURRECT WORK BUT TIM6 NOT A PROPER WORK BOTHs TIMER Period calculation formula give me ???????///

Which STM32?

What is the system clock and how are APB clocks set?

TIM5 is a 32-bit timer, so 399999 is OK; but TIM6 is a 16-bit timer so the maximum Period is 65535 (and so is maximum Prescaler).

So, you cannot achieve one minute period with TIM6. You can set it to e.g. a one second period, and then in the Update interrupt, count a variable up to 60 and perform whatever action you want to do once in a minute, when that is reached.
