How Many Kings, Queens and Jacks are in a 52 Card Deck?
There are 12 Kings, Queens and Jacks in a 52 card deck. These are also referred to as face cards or court cards.
The number is 12 because each suit has one of each value card, Ace through King. This means that each suit has exactly one Jack, Queen, and King. The total number of suits in a deck is 4 (Hearts, Diamonds, Clubs, Spades).
This means that each suit has one Jack, one Queen, and one King. That’s 3 cards for each suit, and a total of 4 suits to make a total of 12 face cards in a deck.

What is the Probability of Getting a King Card in a Deck of 52 Cards?
The probability of choosing a King from a deck of 52 cards is 1/13. (The same as 4/52)
This is because there are 4 Kings total in a deck of 52 cards. If you are to draw one card at random, the chance of getting any one card would be 1/52. But because there are 4 Kings, then you have 4 chances (instead of 1) of drawing the particular card. There are 52 cards to choose from, and 4 of those cards are Queens. So, every time you draw a card, you have a 4/52 chance of drawing a Queen, which is simplified down to 1/13.
There is only 1 King of Spades in a deck of cards.
Each suit only has one of each value card, the Aces through Kings. So, each of the four suits has only 1 King.
