Check Digit Verification of cas no
The CAS Registry Mumber 16084-17-6 includes 8 digits separated into 3 groups by hyphens. The first part of the number,starting from the left, has 5 digits, 1,6,0,8 and 4 respectively; the second part has 2 digits, 1 and 7 respectively.
Calculate Digit Verification of CAS Registry Number 16084-17:
(7*1)+(6*6)+(5*0)+(4*8)+(3*4)+(2*1)+(1*7)=96
96 % 10 = 6
So 16084-17-6 is a valid CAS Registry Number.
