Third Band Multiplier

----------------------

·         Black  = 1

·         Brown  = 10

·         Red    = 100

·         Orange = 1000

·         Yellow = 10000

The Formula For Four Band Resistor

-----------------------------------

·         (First Band + Second Band) * Third Band = Total

·         If Total >= 1000000 

·         Then Total = Total / 1000000

·         Total (Meg)

·          

·         If Total >= 1000

·         Then Total = Total / 1000

·         Total (k)

·          

·         Else Total = Total

·         Total (W)
