By 'mills' I assume you mean mls. Put 1 ml in a 500 ml volumetric flask and dilute to the line. If you don't have a volumetric flask, put 1ml into a container and add 499 mls of whatever you are diluting with.

Draw 4ml of water (or whatever your dilutant is) into a pipette, then 1ml of of whatever you are trying to dilute and put these into a container (container 1). (this is 5x)

Then take 9ml of water (or whatever your dilutant is) and 1ml out of container 1 and put this into container 2. (this is 50x)

Then take 9ml of water (or whatever your dilutant is) and 1ml out of container 2 and put it into container 3. (this is 500x) 500:1

This is called a serial dilution.

just use the same unit of measure on each side ie:

1mill to 500mills

(or 1 litre to 500 litres etc)
