Serial dilution does not require a formula. You take 1 cm3 of the parent solution and add 9cm3 water. e.g. 1 molar NaOH will become 0.1 molar NaOH. Take 1 cm3 from the new solution (the one you just made) and add 9 cm3 water. The new conc will be 0.1/10=0.01. In serial dilution the conc reduces by 10 each dilution. In regular dilution, you can make any conc required. Hope the info helped :)
