>my resistor of 7 ohms will be simulated by 4 parallel resistors instead of 5 (I am accepting equal fractions). If we had just 1,2,5 series that would just be 2 resistors tho ? 3 resistors to get 9,8; 2 to get 6,4,3 The whole thing seems to be not that practical for electronics where you don't aim your amplifier to have amplification of "golden ratio" but in most cases some integer like x5 or x100
