Betelgeuse is a red supergiant, and one of the largest and most luminous stars known, but not the largest - see related question.
It has a radius 936 times larger than our own Sun. If our Sun was replaced by Betelgeuse it's outer edge would extend between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter.
The Star is about 1,000 times larger than our Sun.
That puts it's radius at about 650,988,000 km (about 405 million miles).
See related link for a pictorial of the size difference.
