The probability of being dealt a royal flush is the number royal flushes divided by the total number of poker hands.

\n" ); document.write( "The number of poker hands = 52C5, that is the combination of 52 cards taken 5 at a time.
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "52C5 = 52! / ( 5! * (52-5)! ) = 2,598,960
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "There are 4 different poker hands that are royal flushes
