If I recall correctly, it should be "from 52, choose 2" notation which looks like a fraction within parentheses, but no dividing line (52   2  ).  This translates to 52! divided by 2!(52-2)! or (50! * 2).  When you place 52! over 50!, you get the factors that are not intersected, which are only 52 and 51.  So, it simplifies to

(52 * 51)/2 = 1326
