To measure the value of a resistor, apply a voltage and measure the voltage across the resistor and the current through the resistor. Use Ohm's law: Resistance equals Voltage divided by Current. Start with a small voltage and increase gradually until a reading is obtained, but be careful that the power dissipation (watts = volts times amperes) of the resistor is not exceeded.

Simpler solution: Use an ohmeter.

How do you calculate percentage error of a resister?

You don't, you read the tolerance markings. If you measure the resistor and it is outside the marked tolerance it is bad.
