Use a poker calculator like this one

Type in a few examples, and learn the odds by rote, the percentages will slighly differ depending on the exact cards/suits but theyll be close enough.

Preflop I think there are just 8 basic situations to know.

Pair v UnderPair.
Pair v Overcards.
Pair v Undercards.
Pair v OverUnder (77 v A4).
Dominated hand (KQ v K7).
Overs v Unders. (AQ v J7).
TopBottom v Middles (A8 v KJ).
Interleaved (A8 v K4).
