You need 8 generations (duplications or divisions) to generate 256 cells from the first, assuming they all duplicate and generate 2 daughter cells at the same time and none dies.
1st dup=2 cells,
2nd dup=4 cells,
3rd dup=8 cells,
4th dup=16 cells,
5th dup=32 cells,
6th dup=64 cells,
7th dup=128 cells
and finally 8th duplication= 256 cells.
And so on. You may also know WHEN will this happen if you know the duplication time. In this case, if the duplication time were 20mins. (as for E. coli) you'll get 256 cells from one in (20 x 8=160) 2h 30m.
