Learn about the E24 series of resistors, which have 24 values per decade and a tolerance band of ±5%. Find the E24 resistor values in ohms and kilohms, and how to identify them by color codes.
These are the E24 preferred resistor values. They are commonly available from component suppliers. Resistors smaller than 1Ω and larger than 10MΩ are unusual. The values are as follows and note there are 24 values per column or decade, hence E24 ...
The E series is a system of preferred numbers (also called preferred values) derived for use in electronic components. It consists of the E3, E6, E12, E24, E48, E96 and E192 series, [1] where the number after the 'E' designates the quantity of logarithmic value "steps" per decade.
Find the nominal resistance values of resistors that conform to the E24 series, which has 24 values in each decimal interval. The datasheet also explains the E series standard resistor values and their applications.
E24 Resistor Sizes. EIA define standard series of resistor values: E3, E6, E12, E24, E48 and E96.

The 120 ohm resistor has a value ranging between 110 and 130 ohms. Following this logic, the preferred values for 10% tolerance resistors between 100 and 1,000 ohms would be 100, 120, 150, 180, 220, 270, 330 and so on (rounded appropriately); this is the E12 series shown in the table below.
