Some real life factors that can effect your values are:

Age of components.
Oxidation of leads,
mathematical errors,
quality of joints,
type of joints/splices used
(ie are you soldering components to a pcb or are you using a bread board. )
Length of run in between components.

To name a few.

Besides what is mentioned above, the biggest error source is the tolerance of the resistors.  2nd on the list may be the temperature coefficients of the resistors.

You people are awesome! All those answers are good.
 That's the difference between real and theory.
