The CAS Registry Mumber 7417-71-2 includes 7 digits separated into 3 groups by hyphens. The first part of the number,starting from the left, has 4 digits, 7,4,1 and 7 respectively; the second part has 2 digits, 7 and 1 respectively. Calculate Digit Verification of CAS Registry Number 7417-71: (6*7)+(5*4)+(4*1)+(3*7)+(2*7)+(1*1)=102 102 % 10 = 2 So 7417-71-2 is a valid CAS Registry Number.
