5259-27-8 Usage
Check Digit Verification of cas no
The CAS Registry Mumber 5259-27-8 includes 7 digits separated into 3 groups by hyphens. The first part of the number,starting from the left, has 4 digits, 5,2,5 and 9 respectively; the second part has 2 digits, 2 and 7 respectively.Calculate Digit Verification of CAS Registry Number 5259-27:
(6*5)+(5*2)+(4*5)+(3*9)+(2*2)+(1*7)=98
98 % 10 = 8
So 5259-27-8 is a valid CAS Registry Number.
