The CAS Registry Mumber 3990-77-0 includes 7 digits separated into 3 groups by hyphens. The first part of the number,starting from the left, has 4 digits, 3,9,9 and 0 respectively; the second part has 2 digits, 7 and 7 respectively. Calculate Digit Verification of CAS Registry Number 3990-77: (6*3)+(5*9)+(4*9)+(3*0)+(2*7)+(1*7)=120 120 % 10 = 0 So 3990-77-0 is a valid CAS Registry Number.
