In how many ways can six different coins be dividd between two students so that each student recieves at least one coin? (the correct answer is 62 but I don't know the method to finding it) Thank you for the help!

A.      B.

1.       5.     ncr(6,5) = 6!/(5!1!) → 6

2.       4.     ncr(6,4) = 6!/(4!2!) → 15

3.       3.     ncr(6,3) = 6!/(3!3!) → 20

4.       2.     ncr(6,2) = 6!/(2!4!) → 15

5.       1.     ncr(6,1) = 6!/(1!5!) → 6

 

Total = 62
