Check Digit Verification of cas no
The CAS Registry Mumber 60102-37-6 includes 8 digits separated into 3 groups by hyphens. The first part of the number,starting from the left, has 5 digits, 6,0,1,0 and 2 respectively; the second part has 2 digits, 3 and 7 respectively.
Calculate Digit Verification of CAS Registry Number 60102-37:
(7*6)+(6*0)+(5*1)+(4*0)+(3*2)+(2*3)+(1*7)=66
66 % 10 = 6
So 60102-37-6 is a valid CAS Registry Number.
