13/52 *12/51*11/50*10/49*9/48*8/47=1,235,520/14,658,134,400 or 1 in 11,863.94

H - - - - - -

H - - - - -

H - - - -

H - - -

H - -

H -

S

What is the probability of this happening? I multiplied 13 (hearts) x 12 x 11 x 10 x 9 x 8 and divided it by 4 (suits) to get 308,880, but I am not sure if I did this correctly.
