22 cups of detergent

Explanation:

This is a simple ratio question.

If 1/414 cup of detergent is needed for 1/212 load of clothes, we can write this for 44 loads:

(4 "load of clothes")*((1/4 "cup of detergent")/(1/2 "load of clothes"))(4load of clothes)⋅(14cup of detergent12load of clothes)

(4 cancel("load of clothes"))*((1/4 "cup of detergent")/(1/2 cancel("load of clothes")))

(4)*((1/4)/(1/2)) "cup of detergent"

2 cups of detergent
