Possible ways to choose 3 Kings and 2 other non-paired cards?

From a standard deck (52 cards, 4 suits) of playing cards, how many ways is it possible to be dealt three kings as a three of a kind? So the two other cards cannot be able to form a pair nor can they be another king as that would make it a four of a kind.



This is the answer I came up with, however, I feel like it is wrong. There is a possibility that this expression allows me to pick any three of a kind.



$$[C(13,1)cdot C(4,3)] cdot [C(12,2)cdot C(4,1) cdot C(4,1)]$$



To prevent such occurrences, would I have to divide the expression with "13!"? Or would I have to rewrite the expression in a completely new way? I might be overthinking this but I still feel like I am wrong.

First handle the king:$binom{4}3$



and then choose $2$ cards out of the other denomination:$binom{12}2$.



Choose the suit for the two cards: $4^2$.



Hence overall, $$binom{4}3binom{12}24^2=4^3cdot frac{12(11)}{2!}=(66)(64)=4224$$



Remark: There is no need to have $binom{13}1$ since we already know we want that to be the king.

  • I see, since it is already established that I have to pick a king there is no need for C(13,1) as this would only make me choose 1 of the 13 possible ranks. Thank you very much!
