  • $\begingroup$ Have you even looked at the link above? It returns {1}. Please make an effort. $\endgroup$ – Öskå Jun 9 '14 at 15:17

If you want all duplicates then:

list = {1, 2, 1, 1, 1, 1}

Select[Split@Sort@list, Length@# > 1 &]

if you want one from each duplicate then

Select[Split@Sort@list, Length@# > 1 &][[;;,1]]
