The CAS Registry Mumber 4814-08-8 includes 7 digits separated into 3 groups by hyphens. The first part of the number,starting from the left, has 4 digits, 4,8,1 and 4 respectively; the second part has 2 digits, 0 and 8 respectively. Calculate Digit Verification of CAS Registry Number 4814-08: (6*4)+(5*8)+(4*1)+(3*4)+(2*0)+(1*8)=88 88 % 10 = 8 So 4814-08-8 is a valid CAS Registry Number.
