physic question help for driving frequency?

A 1.350 kg mass is suspended from a spring, with a spring constant of 181.0 N/m. Find the driving frequency which would cause resonance. Hint: The frequency of resonance is simply the natural frequency of the system.

i have gotten 7.28Hz so far, but that is wrong and i am unsure as to what im doing wrong.

if you could help me id appreciate it very much!

    Resonance means the natural frequency (wn) equals the driving frequency w

    so w/wn = 1

    natural frequency = sqrt(k/m) = sqrt (181 N/m / 1.350 kg)

    N/m / kg = m/s^2 /m = 1/s^2
