Probability What is the probability of having double throwing a numberpair of doubles when throwing dice?

What is the probability of having a double (two dice will show the same number) when we throw 5 dicesdice (all dicesdice have 6 sides)?

My calculations are:

Combinations(5,2)*6 / 5^6

And whenWhen I try to find the probability of having a pair of doubledoubles ( twotwo dice will show the same number and another two dice will show the same number) when we throw 5 dicesdice, my calculations are the following:

 Combinations(5,2)*6 / 5^6 * Combinations(3,2)*6 / 5^6 

Is that approach correct or I should try something else?
