Answer:

1, 2, 3, 6

Step-by-step explanation:

The given equation is,

[tex]\Rightarrow ax = 6[/tex]

[tex]\Rightarrow x = \dfrac{6}{a}[/tex]

We need to to find all the whole values of a for which the solution of the equation i.e x will be a whole number.

We know that when a number is divided by one of its factor it leaves a remainder of 0 or the result we get is a whole number.

That is why, we need a as one of the factors of 6, i.e 1, 2, 3, 6 in order to get x as a whole number.
