One clue can be that there are a standard range of values - so when you read the value and it is non standard* , try reading from the other end !
That set you have got is not the best I’ve seen -As a newbie I guess you’ve fallen into the trap of a “cheap set”. -the labelling is not good . Resistors are cheap , look for a set better labelled and bin those .
And ..I’m not a great fan of cheap multimeters , they die quickly . Buy a good one, it will be accurate, safe and last many years.
Buying cheap stuff can cause a lot of frustration to new starters, in a similar vein a new starter ought to buy a genuine UNO - supports the cause, high quality and just work out the box ( you get a free sticker too)
