in one case you have half an ohm, in the other you have over 500 ohms. It seems you may be reading one of the meters incorrectly. One of the meters could be set to auto, while the other is not.

The lesser the ohm's value, the lesser the resistance value & hence ultimately greater the current. So obviously 0.535 is lesser than 535 ohms in value of resistance.

You should check the range setting on each meter.
It sounds like one of them is set to ohms and the other is set to kilo-ohms.
That is, 0.535 k-ohms = 535 ohms

.535 is basiclly a half an ohm, so 535 is greater. you need to check your range on the meter. its best to put it in auto range.

0.535 ohms equals about half an ohm (it's 535/1000 ohms) while 535 ohms is 535 ohms.

well, ohms are units of resistance so 535 ohms would have greater resistance than .535 ohms

Just use the range and select button on the Fluke to move the decimal place over. You probably have it in automatic mode.

This seems incredibly obvious - no. Apparently one meter is set to read in kilohms.
Unless... by "greater" you dont' mean numerically greater you mean greater in an abstract way. I think 0.535 is a great number myself.

no
check your scale settings
