1 ace AND 4 non-aces. There are 4 aces, so there are "4 choose 1" ways to get the ace. For each of the 4C1 ways we can pick the ace, there are 48 non-aces, so there are "48 choose 4" ways to get the 4 non-aces. "AND" usually means to multiply, so the number of ways that can be had is (4C1)(48C4) = 778320 Edwin
