quick way to prove $\mathbb{Z}_2 \times \mathbb{Z}_3$ is isomorphic to $\mathbb{Z}_6$

I want to show that $\mathbb{Z}_2 \times \mathbb{Z}_3$ is isomorphic to $\mathbb{Z}_6$. The number of elements and their orders are equal but I don't see a way to prove that the groups are isomorphic except for writing down the Cayley table of the group operation. Is there a better way?
