  Check Digits
Check digits in bar codes are used to check for an error in scanning.
Check digits help prevent this from happening by using a pre-defined mathematical formula to calculate a "check-digit" for the data represented by the barcode.
Digit positions are numbered from right to left in this algorithm so that the check digit position counts as position 1 and the number system character counts as position 12.

 Check digit calculator - Patent 4419572
In accordance with one embodiment of the invention, the desired check digit original numerals are indicated in response to the determination of a code number and weights and the desired check digit is readily obtained from the sum of the check digit original numerals.
Generally, a check digit is a number calculated from the numerical value of each code number, and it is affixed to the least significant digit of the code number for the purpose of automatically detecting a coding error.
For example, the sum of the check digit original numerals for the code number 467,843 is 28, and the remainder obtained by dividing the number by 10 is 8 which is equal to the result obtained by the ordinary calculating method.
