Check Digit Verification of cas no
The CAS Registry Mumber 961-11-5 includes 6 digits separated into 3 groups by hyphens. The first part of the number,starting from the left, has 3 digits, 9,6 and 1 respectively; the second part has 2 digits, 1 and 1 respectively.
Calculate Digit Verification of CAS Registry Number 961-11:
(5*9)+(4*6)+(3*1)+(2*1)+(1*1)=75
75 % 10 = 5
So 961-11-5 is a valid CAS Registry Number.
