Large Straight

Large Straight Probability Formula

Probability of a Large Straight = Total Combos of 1-2-3-4-5 or 2-3-4-5-6 / All Possible Rolls

Probability of 1-2-3-4-5 = Combos(1st die * 2nd die * 3rd die * 4th die * 5th die)

Combos of 1-2-3-4-5 = 5 * 4 * 3 * 2 * 1

Combos of 1-2-3-4-5 = 120

Combos of 2-3-4-5-6 = Same Combos as 1-2-3-4-5

Combos of 2-3-4-5-6 = 120

Total Combos

Total Combos of 1-2-3-4-5 or 2-3-4-5-6 = 120 + 120

Total Combos of 1-2-3-4-5 or 2-3-4-5-6 = 240

Total Die Roll Combos

Total Possible Die Roll Combos = 6 * 6 * 6 * 6 * 6

Total Possible Die Roll Combos = 7,776

Plug in numbers

Probability of a Large Straight  =  Total Large Straight Combos
  Total Possible Die Roll Combos

Probability of a Large Straight  =  240
  7776

Final Answer

Using our GCF calculator, we reduce top and bottom by 48, to get

Probability of a Large Straight  =  5
  162


Probability of a Large Straight = 5/162
