If I put 3 1MΩ resistors in series, is that the equivalent of one 3MΩ resistor?
Electronic – put multiple resistors in series to get higher resistance

The short answer: Yes. It's the same.
But this the ideal value. In the real word, resistors have tolerances and you have take in count. E.g., tolerance of 10%. The final value can vary between 2.7MΩ to 3.3MΩ.
