SMD code 3R16 — 3.16 Ω
A surface-mount resistor has no bands. This one is a four-digit marking: the R is the decimal point — 3.16 Ω. Parts marked this way are usually ±1% or tighter.
3R16
reads as
3.16 Ω
The same part, in bands
The through-hole version of 3.16 Ω carries 5 colour bands instead.
Everything about 3.16 Ω — power ratings, what ten cost, what is in stock.
Same value, other markings
3.16 Ω is printed several ways depending on the part's precision and size. A board can carry all of them at once.

Codes you will mistake it for
One character apart from 3R16. On a 0402 part these are a fraction of a millimetre of printing — worth a second look before you solder.
