I've being trying to write a program that calculates the nearest set of parallel or series resistors to a specified value.
One thing that's made it more difficult is that the some E24 values deviate from the geometric sequence.
Correct rounded geometric sequance:
10
11
12
13
15
16
18
20
22
24
26
29
32
35
38
42
46
51
56
62
68
75
83
91
E24 values
10
11
12
13
15
16
18
20

24
27
30
33
36
39
43
47
51
62
68
75
82
91
Why couldn't they have just stuck to the rounded geometric sequence?
The E192 values also differs too but it's not too bad, 920 instead of 919. I don't know why it's not like they're rounding to the nearest decade when they have 301.
I don't suppose anyone cares, just letting off steam.
