What is the probability of winning the lotto in which you must choose 4 numbers from the numbers 1-17.. Put in fractional form.

Yes Im an idiot at math and need help.

Thanks

Please note i tried using this forumula 17_P_4 but I dont think permutation is the right thing here. The factorials are too high to get an answer.
