The CAS Registry Mumber 50900-37-3 includes 8 digits separated into 3 groups by hyphens. The first part of the number,starting from the left, has 5 digits, 5,0,9,0 and 0 respectively; the second part has 2 digits, 3 and 7 respectively. Calculate Digit Verification of CAS Registry Number 50900-37: (7*5)+(6*0)+(5*9)+(4*0)+(3*0)+(2*3)+(1*7)=93 93 % 10 = 3 So 50900-37-3 is a valid CAS Registry Number.
