You entered a parallel resistor set of

{2,3,4,5}

calculate the resistance in ohms, denoted Rt

The formula for this is as follows:

Rt  =  1
  1/R1 + 1/R2 + 1/R3 + ... + 1/Rn

Calculating our denominator piece, we get:

R1 = 2

1 ÷ R1 = 0.5

R2 = 3

1 ÷ R2 = 0.33333333333333

R3 = 4

1 ÷ R3 = 0.25

R4 = 5

1 ÷ R4 = 0.2

Our denominator becomes

Denominator = 0.5 + 0.33333333333333 + 0.25 + 0.2

Denominator = 1.2833333333333

Our total Resistance is denoted below:

Rt  =  1
  1.2833333333333

Rt = 0.77922077922078
