Use Combination Formula: To find the total number of possible 4-card poker hands from a deck of 52 cards, we use the combination formula which is given by C(n,k)=k!⋅(n−k)!n!, where n is the total number of items to choose from, k is the number of items to choose, and “!” denotes factorial. In this case, n=52 and k=4.
Calculate Total Number: Calculating the total number of possible 4-card hands using the combination formula: C(52,4)=4!×(52−4)!52!=4!×48!52!.
Simplify Factorials: Simplifying the factorials by canceling out the common terms: (4!×48!)52!=(4×3×2×1)(52×51×50×49).
Perform Multiplication and Division: Performing the multiplication and division: (52×51×50×49)/(4×3×2×1)=270725.
