1. **State the problem:** We need to find how many cubic boxes of dimension 50cm × 50cm × 50cm can fit into a storage room of dimensions 4m × 2m × 4m.
2. **Convert units:** Since the box dimensions are in centimeters and the room dimensions are in meters, convert the room dimensions to centimeters.
$$4m = 400cm, \quad 2m = 200cm, \quad 4m = 400cm$$
3. **Calculate the volume of the room:**
$$\text{Volume}_{room} = 400cm \times 200cm \times 400cm = 32,000,000 \text{ cm}^3$$
4. **Calculate the volume of one box:**
$$\text{Volume}_{box} = 50cm \times 50cm \times 50cm = 125,000 \text{ cm}^3$$
5. **Calculate how many boxes fit by volume:**
$$\frac{\text{Volume}_{room}}{\text{Volume}_{box}} = \frac{32,000,000}{125,000} = 256$$
6. **Check fitting by dimensions:**
Number of boxes along length:
$$\frac{400cm}{50cm} = 8$$
Number of boxes along width:
$$\frac{200cm}{50cm} = 4$$
Number of boxes along height:
$$\frac{400cm}{50cm} = 8$$
7. **Calculate total boxes by fitting:**
$$8 \times 4 \times 8 = 256$$
**Final answer:**
$$\boxed{256}$$ boxes can fit into the storage room.
