Check Digit Verification of cas no
The CAS Registry Mumber 108-50-9 includes 6 digits separated into 3 groups by hyphens. The first part of the number,starting from the left, has 3 digits, 1,0 and 8 respectively; the second part has 2 digits, 5 and 0 respectively.
Calculate Digit Verification of CAS Registry Number 108-50:
(5*1)+(4*0)+(3*8)+(2*5)+(1*0)=39
39 % 10 = 9
So 108-50-9 is a valid CAS Registry Number.
