Current through one LED in series with 220 kΩ:

220 kΩ is a standard value in the E6, E12, E24 series, so it comes in almost every resistor kit.

Same first two colors, different multiplier:

What are the colors of a 220 kΩ resistor?

On a 4-band resistor: red, red, yellow, gold. On a 5-band resistor: red, red, black, orange, brown.

What is the SMD code for 220 kΩ?

224 on 3-digit resistors and 2203 on 4-digit (1%) resistors.

How much current flows through a 220 kΩ resistor at 5 V?

22.7 µA, dissipating 114 µW. A 1/8 W resistor is enough.

Which resistors get mixed up with 220 kΩ?

red, red, orange, gold is 22 kΩ and red, red, green, gold is 2.2 MΩ: only the third band changes, so check it carefully.
