There are 7 people at a party Each person must shake hands with all the other people at the party once How many handshakes does it take to do this?

14 is incorrect Correct answer is 21* 7 persons in total, which means the first one will shake hands with 6 persons, the next in line will shake hands with 5 (given that he already shook hands with the first person). Calculation is: 6+5+4+3+2+1=21 *Applies to question if handshakes take place between new partners only, however in either case 14 can never be the answer.


How many handshakes will there be altogether at the end of a business conference if the ten people present all shake hands with each other once?

There will be 45 handshakes (assuming that each person doesn't repeat who they shake hands with). Use the following formula for this one (n*(n-1))/2 where n is number of people...so if 10 people its (10 x 9) / 2 = 45 handshakes, if 7 people its (7 x 6) / 2 = 21 handshakes etc.

Seven people shake hands once how many times do they shake hands?

For everyone to shake hands with everyone else, there are 21 handshakes. (below copied from my answer of a similar question) This is an arithmetic progression and can be solved with the equation Sn=(1+(n-1))(n-1)/2 where Sn is the total sum of handshakes for n people. NB: I have used n-1 instead of n in the equation for the sum of an arithmetic progression, because you're not really going to shake hands with yourself, so you don't include the nth term, in this case 7. Alternatively, you can solve this geometrically by drawing a heptagon, drawing lines between all the vertices, and then adding all the lines up.


If each OF seven persons in a group shakes hands with each of the other six persons then a total of forty two handshakes occurs?

The total number of handshakes that occur when each of seven persons shakes hands with each of the other six persons can be calculated using the combination formula. The formula for calculating the number of combinations of n items taken r at a time is nCr = n! / (r!(n-r)!). In this case, n = 7 and r = 2 (since each handshake involves 2 people), so the total number of handshakes is 7C2 = 7! / (2!(7-2)!) = 7! / (2!5!) = (7*6) / 2 = 21. Therefore, a total of 21 handshakes would occur in this scenario, not 42.
