Check Digit Verification of cas no

The CAS Registry Mumber 8006-40-4 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 6 respectively; the second part has 2 digits, 4 and 0 respectively.
Calculate Digit Verification of CAS Registry Number 8006-40:
(6*8)+(5*0)+(4*0)+(3*6)+(2*4)+(1*0)=74
74 % 10 = 4
So 8006-40-4 is a valid CAS Registry Number.
