Given the description, it appears to be an GCF problem.

 

So that means we have to find the greatest common factor common to all 3 volumes:

 

I'll start by listing factors of the largest number, 1000:

 

1000

1 * 1000

2 * 500 -> That matches 500, so it's a factor of 500, but it's too large to be a factor of 250

4 * 250 -> Matches 250, so it's a factor of 250.

 

Having found a factor for both 1000 and 250, we can now check if 500 also has that factor:

 

500

1 * 500

2 * 250

 

If I interpreted the problem correctly, 250mL should be the answer.
