Wow I feel totally dumb sorry for the dumb question if I would have read the parts checklist which I did but didn't recognize that there are numbers that coincide with the value of the resistors and those are the numbers that are on the picture of the circuit board in the instructions. sorry I answered my own question. Can we delete this topic
No such thing as a dumb question when you're just starting out!
2M2 is just another way of writing 2.2M--the M represents the decimal point in this notation. Just like you might see 4K7 for a 4.7Kohm resistor or 3K3 for a 3.3K.
The three digit notation is another way to represent these values. The first two digits are the basic value and the third digit represents the number of zeroes following that value to give the resistor rating in ohms. So, for example, 223 would be 22,000 ohms = 22Kohms. 105 would be 10 followed by 5 additional zeroes, or 1,000,000 ohms = 1.0Mohms. A 471 is 470 ohms. And so on....
And if you think resistor coding is confusing, wait until you get into capacitors! Here's some "light reading" for you:
