Check Digit Verification of cas no

The CAS Registry Mumber 16372-64-8 includes 8 digits separated into 3 groups by hyphens. The first part of the number,starting from the left, has 5 digits, 1,6,3,7 and 2 respectively; the second part has 2 digits, 6 and 4 respectively.
Calculate Digit Verification of CAS Registry Number 16372-64:
(7*1)+(6*6)+(5*3)+(4*7)+(3*2)+(2*6)+(1*4)=108
108 % 10 = 8
So 16372-64-8 is a valid CAS Registry Number.
