Assuming that it doesn't matter which order they are drawn in, that would be #2/139#. Otherwise, it's #1/139#.

Explanation:

The probability of choosing a king is #4/52# , or #1/13# , because there are four kings in a deck. Separate from the kings, the probability of drawing an ace is the same because there are also four aces. However, the probability of drawing both is the sum of their separate probabilities, or #1/13 * 1/13#. That's #1/139#. If it doesn't matter which order they're in, the chances are doubled. Then you would have a #2/139# chance.
