let A represent the ♣ cards,   B the ♦ cards,  C the ♥ cards and  D the ♠ cards.  to divide the 13 A−cards in four  portions with 4, 4, 4 and 1 cards  respectively, there are   ((13!)/((4!)^3 1!))=450450 ways.  to divide all four suits there are then  450450^4  ways.  let′s say the portions of A−cards are  A_1 ,A_2 ,A_3  and A_4 . portion A_4  has only  one card, other portions have 4 cards   each.  we have now following portions:  A_1 ,A_2 ,A_3 ,A_4   B_1 ,B_2 ,B_3 ,B_4   C_1 ,C_2 ,C_3 ,C_4   D_1 ,D_2 ,D_3 ,D_4   now we distribute the A_4 ,B_4 ,C_4 ,D_4   among the four persons. there are  4! ways.  to distribute A_1 , A_2 , A_3  to the three   persons without A_4  there are 3! ways.  totally there are (3!)^4  ways.    therefore we have totally  (((13!)/((4!)^3 1!)))^4 ×4!×(3!)^4 ≈1.28×10^(27)  ways    to distribute 52 cards to the four  persons there are totally  ((52!)/((13!)^4 ))≈5.364×10^(28)  ways.  p≈((1.28)/(53.64))=2.38%
