First, calculate how many cards are not an ace. Then, subtract it from 52 because those are the total number of cards you have. After you've subtracted how many aces are in the deck, that's your number for the numerator. The denominator is the total amount of cards in the deck. Simplify the probability fraction.

52-4=48
P of not Ace = 48/52

you get 48/52, then you simplify it, which leads to 12/13
