Check Digit Verification of cas no
The CAS Registry Mumber 7464-76-8 includes 7 digits separated into 3 groups by hyphens. The first part of the number,starting from the left, has 4 digits, 7,4,6 and 4 respectively; the second part has 2 digits, 7 and 6 respectively.
Calculate Digit Verification of CAS Registry Number 7464-76:
(6*7)+(5*4)+(4*6)+(3*4)+(2*7)+(1*6)=118
118 % 10 = 8
So 7464-76-8 is a valid CAS Registry Number.
