It is stated that there should only be 1 ace in each combination. So take out the 4 aces from the deck and determine the number of combinations out of the remaining 48 cards taken 4 at a time then multiply the result by 4.

4 × ( 48 C 4 ) = 4 × 48 ! 44 ! × 4 ! = 778320 4\times ({ _{ 48 }{ C }_{ 4 }) }=4\times \frac { 48! }{ 44!\times 4! } =\boxed { 778320 }

Very good!

There are 4 ways of choosing the ace. The number of combinations of the remaining four cards is the number of combinations of 48 cards chosen 4 at a time, which is 48!/(44! 4!). So the number of poker hands containing exactly one ace are 4 48!/(44!*4!) = 778,320
