You have a known voltage Uk, a known resistor Rk and an unknown resistor Rx. Connect Rk between Uk and ADC and Rx between ADC and GND. Now you can calculate Rx. The magic formula is Uadc = Uk*Rx/(Rk+Rx). Solve this equation for Rx and let your machine do the calculation.
>does the resistance matter?
Yes, that's why ohm meters have ranges. If you want a wide Rx range you need to switch Rk to maintain accuracy.
