The CAS Registry Mumber 6928-58-1 includes 7 digits separated into 3 groups by hyphens. The first part of the number,starting from the left, has 4 digits, 6,9,2 and 8 respectively; the second part has 2 digits, 5 and 8 respectively. Calculate Digit Verification of CAS Registry Number 6928-58: (6*6)+(5*9)+(4*2)+(3*8)+(2*5)+(1*8)=131 131 % 10 = 1 So 6928-58-1 is a valid CAS Registry Number.
