Check Digit Verification of cas no
The CAS Registry Mumber 53746-38-6 includes 8 digits separated into 3 groups by hyphens. The first part of the number,starting from the left, has 5 digits, 5,3,7,4 and 6 respectively; the second part has 2 digits, 3 and 8 respectively.
Calculate Digit Verification of CAS Registry Number 53746-38:
(7*5)+(6*3)+(5*7)+(4*4)+(3*6)+(2*3)+(1*8)=136
136 % 10 = 6
So 53746-38-6 is a valid CAS Registry Number.
