	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.

	The Check Digit
		The third digit of the d666 is useful, not only as a number for the rules, but also to give the GM some help in adding depth to otherwise bland situations and bringing the game to life for the players.
		Frequently, the check digit indicates something specific defined by the rules, like the amount of damage done by a weapon or the severity of a certain power.
		Or if someone is trying to jump from one rooftop to another, a 1 on the check digit might indicate that the jumper barely made it and is holding on by the tips of his fingers.

	Check Digit Algorithm - OpenMRS
		Check digits help to reduce the likelihood of errors by introducing a final digit that is calculated from the prior digits.
		All resulting digits are summed and the check digit is the amount necessary to take this sum up to a number divisible by ten.
		For a sum of '14', the check digit is '6' since '20' is the next number divisible by ten.

		This is done by calculating a single-digit value based on the account number, and then appending that digit to the base number to arrive at a final account number.
		When this account number is entered, the check digit value is stripped off and recalculated.
		if the remainder is one, the check digit is ambiguous, and the base number should not be used as an account number.

		The last digit is a check digit which is calculated from the previous nine digits.
		In this case, the middle digit of the answer is the last digit of the sum, and the first digit of the answer is 1 more than a (this is just the "carry" of addition).
		The check digit is y - (x + z) mod 11, that is, subtract the sum of the first and last digit from the middle digit, and then use clock arithmetic mod 11 to write the answer as a number between 0 and 10.

	Check Digit Numbering
		A check digit is derived mathematically from the data content of a character field, usually a numeric field.
		The check digit is appended to the data, and the entire message is printed as one numeric field.
		Since the check digit number is generated by a complex algorithm, which each serial number must go through before the check digit is determined, only digital imaging systems can be employed to calculate the weighted check digit.

	CHECK DIGIT
		Check digit verification is a special check on a numeric or alphanumeric field in which the last (rightmost) character is a check digit.
		In general, a check digit is arrived at by performing calculations on a number and then using the result of these calculations as the final digit or "check digit" in that number.
		The specified calculations (modulus 10 or 11) are performed on the 5-digit number, the result is added as a check digit to the number, and a 6-digit number is assigned as the new account number.
