Pick a card type: 13
Pick 3 of that card type: 4C3 = 4
Pick another card type: 12
Pick 2 of that card type: 4C2 = 6
Total number of ways = 13*12*24 = 3744
----------------------------------------
total number of 5-card hands: 52C5
---------------------------------------
P(getting Full House hand) = 3744/52C5 = 0.00144
----------------------------------------
