Check Digit Verification of cas no
The CAS Registry Mumber 8000-27-9 includes 7 digits separated into 3 groups by hyphens. The first part of the number,starting from the left, has 4 digits, 8,0,0 and 0 respectively; the second part has 2 digits, 2 and 7 respectively.
Calculate Digit Verification of CAS Registry Number 8000-27:
(6*8)+(5*0)+(4*0)+(3*0)+(2*2)+(1*7)=59
59 % 10 = 9
So 8000-27-9 is a valid CAS Registry Number.
