Does anyone know of an online utility that can calculate what combination of series and parallel resistors are needed to get a particular value? Specifically, I'm trying to calculate the best way to get close to 5250 Ohm, using E12 preferred values. Power consumption is not an issue and I'd like the value to be +/- 2% as that's the resistor tolerance.
I'm not looking for the answer, I'm looking for the way to find the answer. There are lots of websites where you can tap in resistor values and have it calculate the result, but that gets long winded. I've got a combination that gives
5253R with 4 resistors, but I'd like to do better
