The CAS Registry Mumber 2487-78-7 includes 7 digits separated into 3 groups by hyphens. The first part of the number,starting from the left, has 4 digits, 2,4,8 and 7 respectively; the second part has 2 digits, 7 and 8 respectively. Calculate Digit Verification of CAS Registry Number 2487-78: (6*2)+(5*4)+(4*8)+(3*7)+(2*7)+(1*8)=107 107 % 10 = 7 So 2487-78-7 is a valid CAS Registry Number.
