First find the tolerance band, it will typically be gold ( 5%) and
sometimes silver (10%).
Starting from the other end, identify the first band - write down the number associated
with that color; for example, Blue is 6.
Now 'read' the next color, if it is red write down a '2' next to the six. (you should
have '62' so far.)
Now read the third or 'multiplier' band and write down that number of zeros.
If you have red again it will be two so we get '6200' or '6,200'. If the 'multiplier'
band is Black (for zero) don't write any zeros down.
If the 'multiplier' band is Gold move the decimal point one to the left. If the
'multiplier' band is Silver move the decimal point two places to the left. If the resistor
has one more band past the tolerance band it is a quality band.
