How many throws to throwof a dicedie until every possible result is obtained?

A die is thrown until every possible result (i.e., every integer from 1 to 6) is obtained. Find the expected value of the number of throws.

We are throwing a dice until we obtain every possible result i.e. number from 1 to 6. Find expected value of throws. How todo I do that? I understand that probability for the single result is $\{1, 5/6, \ldots , 1/6\}$, but what about the expected value?
