Probability help? Explanation please? Thank you. Three cards are chosen from a standard deck of 52 playing cards with replacement. What is the probability every card will be an Ace?

OpenStudy (kropot72):

There are 4 aces in the pack. On the first choice the probability of an ace is 4/52. Having drawn one ace, on the second choice the probability of an ace is 3/51. Having drawn two aces, on the third draw the probability of an ace is 2/50. The probability of every card being an ace is the product of the above 3 values of probability: \[P(3\ aces)=\frac{4\times3\times2}{52\times51\times50}=you\ can\ calculate\]
