Four Bands

2.4 MΩ resistor colour code

Four bands: Red · Yellow · Green · Gold. The first two give the digits, the third multiplies, the fourth states how far off the real part may be.

The same value on a five-band part

Precision resistors carry three significant digits instead of two, so the same 2.4 MΩ looks different.
