By a hand containing 5 different kinds, is this including face value, suit and sequence or just face value?

I think it's just face value, because 5 different suits wouldn't make sense. -Zoe

13 different kinds and 4 different suits

i did (13 choose 5)*4 on top (to represent there are 13 numbers, pick one ad then taking the suits into account - ace of hearts is different from ace of spades) and (52 choose 5) on the bottom to show all the possible hands with 5 cards.
