These are in pF, with the last digit the number of zeros to add, so:

104 - 100,000pf (0.1uF)

103 - 10,000pF (0.01uF)

223 - 22,000pF (0.022uF)

There have been various other threads about this, and links given to websites explaining it - but it's basically as simple as that!.
 
I have this pic saved in my electronics directory for easy access. It is quite handy...oh yeah, for the first caps. (1.5pf to 91pf) they will just be labeled with the value (33pf will be labeled as 33)
