I am having a little trouble determining the resistance of the following 5 band resistors.

I have attached some pictures of them. I apologize for the pictures. I can try to get clearer pictures if that would help.

The conclusions I am coming up with are extremely high resistance. Can someone verify these conclusions or show me where I am going wrong?

Thanks
TW
 

Re: Resistors - 5 Band

I would reject these unrealistic values of thousands of MΩ ..
For example, one of your resistors has the following 5-band sequence:
green-violet-blue-red-brown => 57.6kΩ/1% ..

Resistors - 5 Band

What about the wide brown band of image 2? Would that signify band 1?
 

Re: Resistors - 5 Band

I don't think the width of a band has any special meaning ..

Resistors - 5 Band

Thanks IanP. You were right the values were too high. I was going off that all the resistors were probabley the same tolerance which made the Green the first number. Plus the wide brown band on the one resistor. The first resistor was throwing me off. I thought it was 3 red marks but it is 3 brown marks.

1 - 6.81K 1%
2 - 57.6K 1%
3 - 54.9K 1%
