To solve the expression \(4 + \frac{484}{242} \cdot 249 - 995\), we will follow the order of operations (PEMDAS/BODMAS):
Calculate \( \frac{484}{242} \): \[ \frac{484}{242} = 2 \]
Substitute this back into the expression: \[ 4 + 2 \cdot 249 - 995 \]
Perform the multiplication: \[ 2 \cdot 249 = 498 \]
Substitute again: \[ 4 + 498 - 995 \]
Add \(4 + 498\): \[ 502 - 995 \]
Finally, subtract \(995\) from \(502\): \[ 502 - 995 = -493 \]
So, the final result is: \[ \boxed{-493} \]
