4*3*2/52*51*50 which equals 24/132600 then simplify

Well there are 4 kings, which means you have a 7.7% chance of drawing any of them on the first try. After that, you will have 3 left and 51 cards, which is a 5.9% chance. The 3rd time, 2 kings and 50 cards, so 4% chance. All you have to do to find the chance to do all of these simultaneously is multiply the percentages. .077*.059*.04=.0001, which is .01% chance.
