Hello. I'm new to the electronics thing, and I am having a bit of trouble with a problem. This is probably really easy, but I can't seem to find an answer. Any help would be appreciated.

Anyway, I am trying to find out how to line up 4 100ohm resistors to give me a total resistance of 75ohms. I have calculated everyway I know how, but the mininum I seem to need is 6 100ohm resistors. Again, any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

Joe

 

3 100ohm resistors in series and the forth in parallel with this.

 

You know, this just goes to show that I need some experience with this. I never even thought to put more than one in a series on this. Thanks for the help.
