Answer: There are 2,598,960 poker hands that are possible.

Explanation:

Since we have given that

Number of cards in a deck = 52 cards

Number of poker hands = 5

We need to find the number of five card poker hands that are possible.

Number of possible poker hands would be


^(52)C_5\\\\=2,598,960

Hence, there are 2,598,960 poker hands that are possible.
