five card hands

The Five Card Hands constant defines the number of five card hands that can be drawn from a standard card deck of 52 cards.  This number of combinations is best computed using the vCalc equation for what mathematicians refer to as a combination. 

The standard notation for a combination is either C(n,k) or nCk or `((n),(k))`.

This particular combination for the number of five card hands possible drawn from a 52 card deck is C(52,5) or `((52),(5))` or 52C5.
