I am getting this part 226k and when I measure it I get 226 ohms . Is there a difference?

Every current carrying device has some resistance, but the important thing to know for your question is that one ohm of resistance will produce one volt of electricity if/when one one amp of current is pased through it.
What does this mean?
Your 226K resistor = 226,000 Ohms
Your 226 resistor = 226 Ohms
YES - there is a big difference.

The 'K" designation is an abbreviation for the prefix "kilo" which means 1000. therefore 226K ohms means 226 thousand ohms. 226 ohms is what it says it is....226 ohms.

226 Ohms = 226 Ohms
226K = 226,000 Ohms

Yes, because 226K is actually 226,000 ohms.

A factor of 1000 because of the K You don't have an autoranging meter do you and the value is really OK?
