Chances of dealt Aces with kicker, likewise dealt deuces

What are the chances of getting four aces with a kicker dealt in DDB. Likewise what are the chances on dealt four deuces in DW?

Would appreciate you showing how to do the calculations.

I was unable to find answers on line.

This is 5-card's link, which has some answers for these type of questions:

1) Four deuces: There are 48 other cards that can be combined with the four deuces to make a five card hand. Divide 48 by 52 cards taken five at a time, which is called a combination. C(52, 5) = 2,598,960
This gives you 1 chance in 54,145 (reduced), which agrees with 5-card's figure for dealt aces.

2) Four aces with a kicker: There are four 2's, 3's and 4's (12 cards in total) that can be combined with the four aces, so there are only 12 hands possible. Since this is 1/4 as much as 48, just multiply 54,145 by 4 to get 1 chance in 216,580.
