Example: Calculations indicate the need for a 355 kΩ resistor and a tolerance of 1% .
Look in the 1% table and select the 35.7 value (the nearest available standard value).
Multiply by 10 000 to convert to 357 kΩ.
Decade multiples are available from 10.0 Ω through 1.00 MΩ (also 1.10 MΩ, 1.20 MΩ, 1.30 MΩ, 1.50 MΩ, 1.60 MΩ, 1.80 MΩ, 2.00 MΩ and 2.20 MΩ) | |||||||||||

Standard resistor values are calculated using the simple formula given below. Round the results to the proper number of significant figures (3 for 1% and 2%, 2 for 5% and 10%). As the chart at the right shows (created in Excel), plotting the values on a logarithmic scale results in a straight line.
