Depends what you mean, if you mean if everyone shakes hands just once then N-1 handshakes are made. If you mean if everyone shakes hands with everyone else then the answer is (N-1)+(N-2)+....+2+1 (we dont include N as they're not going to shake their own hand, obviously) written as Σn-1i=1 i, this is a arithmetic progression and so the total number of handshakes will be equal to (1+(n-1))(n-1)/2

However, you would then be double counting handshakes: A shaking hands with B and B shaking hands with A is, in reality, only one handshake. Thus there are 5*4/2 = 10 handshakes in all.
