Check Digit Verification of cas no
The CAS Registry Mumber 87-41-2 includes 5 digits separated into 3 groups by hyphens. The first part of the number,starting from the left, has 2 digits, 8 and 7 respectively; the second part has 2 digits, 4 and 1 respectively.
Calculate Digit Verification of CAS Registry Number 87-41:
(4*8)+(3*7)+(2*4)+(1*1)=62
62 % 10 = 2
So 87-41-2 is a valid CAS Registry Number.
