Check Digit Verification of cas no
The CAS Registry Mumber 31592-24-2 includes 8 digits separated into 3 groups by hyphens. The first part of the number,starting from the left, has 5 digits, 3,1,5,9 and 2 respectively; the second part has 2 digits, 2 and 4 respectively.
Calculate Digit Verification of CAS Registry Number 31592-24:
(7*3)+(6*1)+(5*5)+(4*9)+(3*2)+(2*2)+(1*4)=102
102 % 10 = 2
So 31592-24-2 is a valid CAS Registry Number.
