AI explanation

A standard pack of playing cards contains a total of 52 cards, and there are 4 kings within the deck. The classical probability of drawing a king is calculated by dividing the number of kings by the total number of cards. Dividing 4 by 52 and simplifying the fraction results in 1 divided by 13.
