Confronted by resistor marking 75B translates as 5K9, anyone have an
approximate ie 10 percent conversion technique?
to avoid table lookup, eg

How about ...

100 x 10^(nn / 100)

I don't have a brain the size of a planet, mentally multiplying and adding
integres
is about my limit.

I would think that most people would have a calculator handy in their
workshop. Alternatively, why not just print out the chart, laminate
it, and hang it on your wall?
