Using a standar deck of 52 cards, what is the probability of drawing four cards of the same number(eg.four aces, 4 kings, four 2s, four 3s,etc)?

(4/52)*(3/52)*(2/52)*(1/52)
is this 4 cards of everything?
Let's just take one of the quads, say the kings
prob of 4 kings = (4/52)(3/51)(2/50)(1/49)
but there are 13 of these types
so prob of your event = 13(4/52)(3/51)(2/50)(1/49) = 1/20825
prob of 4 kings = (4/52)(3/51)(2/50)(1/49)
but there are 13 of these types
so prob of your event = 13(4/52)(3/51)(2/50)(1/49) = 1/20825
