Check Digit Verification of cas no
The CAS Registry Mumber 18174-72-6 includes 8 digits separated into 3 groups by hyphens. The first part of the number,starting from the left, has 5 digits, 1,8,1,7 and 4 respectively; the second part has 2 digits, 7 and 2 respectively.
Calculate Digit Verification of CAS Registry Number 18174-72:
(7*1)+(6*8)+(5*1)+(4*7)+(3*4)+(2*7)+(1*2)=116
116 % 10 = 6
So 18174-72-6 is a valid CAS Registry Number.
