Modulo 10 Check Digit
Modulo 10 allows you to set a check digit for the numbers 0 through 9, with
values corresponding to the numbers.
The general formula for calculating a Modulo 10 check digit is as follows:
(d
n
+ . . . + d
3
+ d
2
+ d
1
+ d
0
) modulo 10 = 0
Modulo 10 Example
1212121212
(1 + 2 + 1 + 2 + 1 + 2 + 1 + 2 + 1 + 2 + x) modulo 10 = 0
(15 + x) modulo 10 = 0
(15 + 5) modulo 10 = 0
x = 5, so the check digit would be 5.
The final string including the check digit would be 12121212125.
Modulo 36
Modulo 36 allows you to set a check digit for the characters 0 - 9 and A -Z.
The numbers correspond to the values just as in Modulo 10 and the values for
alphabetic characters start at 10 for A and end with Z at 35, as shown in
.
