The normal textbook formula for resistors in parallel is given as
for two Rt =(R1*R2) / (R1+R2) or for more Rt = 1 / (1/R1 +1/R2 + 1/R3 etc..)
I need the formula in the form R1= and to my shame I cant remember how to do the transposition can someone help me out please! I need a one off resistance of 53.6 ohms (as near as possible) to be made up from salvage SMT standard values (which seem always slightly under the nominated) and the Rt = formula isnt much help! This resistor is for an 100x oscilloscope probe and needs to be as small in size as possible, so two or 3 SMT resistors in parallel would be best. Thanks
