To read a Ceramic or Mylar capacitor, you will find 3 numbers and sometimes a
letter. To find the value, you get the first two numbers and multiply that by the third
number to the power of ten. If the last numbers are 8 or 9, you will have to multiply
them by 0.01 and 0.1 respectively.

If the capacitor has only two or less numbers, it is probably the actual value in pF.
