Probability of 4 of a kind |

In a standard 5-card poker hand for 1 deck:

Calculate P(4 of a kind)

4 of a kind Hands

4 of a kind

Calculate Total 5 Card hands

Total Hands =	52!
	(52-5)! * 5!

Total Hands =	52!
	47! * 5!

Total Hands =	(52 * 51 * 50 * 49 * 48) * 47!
	47! * (5 * 4 * 3 * 2 * 1)

Cancelling the 47!, we get:

Total Hands =	311,875,200
	120

Total Hands = 2,598,960

Build Probability

Possible 4 of a kinds = Possible ways to get 4 cards of one kind and any 5th card

Possible 4 of a kinds = 13 different 4 of a kind choices * 48 remaining 5th cards = 624

Probability of a 4 of a kind =	Possible 4 of a kind hands
	Total Hands

Reduce top and bottom by 624

GCF = Greatest Common Factor

P(4 of a kind) =	624
	2,598,960

GCF for 1 and 4165 = 624

P(4 of a kind) =	1
	4,165

Final Answer

Decimal probability = 0.000240096

What is the Answer?

Decimal probability = 0.000240096
