Odds of dealer getting black jack (102/8 (8 aces)) * (101/30 (30 tens, jacks, queens, kings left) = 42.925.

When you calculate the odds of the dealer getting blackjack, you only accounted for the dealer being dealt an A and then a (T,J,Q, or K). You multiply by 2 because the dealer can be dealt a (T,J,Q, or K) first and then an A.
