Tip: E12 covers most hobbyist needs. E24 is standard for professional designs. E96 is for precision ±1% circuits. E6 sits inside E12, and E12 inside E24, so an E12 value is always available in E24. E96 is a different grid: only 1.0 and 1.5 of the E12 values appear in it (1.2 becomes 1.21, 4.7 becomes 4.75), so pick the nearest E96 value rather than assuming the same number exists.
