Poker hands are combinations of cards (when the order does not matter, but each object can be chosen only once.)

The number 52C5 of combinations of 52 cards taken 5 at a time is (52x51x50x49x48) / (5x4x3x2x1) = 2,598,960.

The number of hands which contain 4 aces is 48 (the fifth card can be any of 48 other cards.)

So there is 1 chance in (2,598,960 / 48) = 54,145 of being dealt 4 aces in a 5 card hand.

The odds are 54,144 to 1 against. The probabilityis 1/54145 = (approx.) 0.000018469 or 0.0018469%.
