Calculate the Check Digit
The Check Digit is easy to calculate. This is how you do it.
The letters of the prefix have a certain value:
1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 | 10 |
---|
So (for example) prefix MWCU is:
1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 |
---|
The value of the numbers is equal to the numbers of the container number.
1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 |
---|
Now calculate like this:
1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 |
---|
The total, in this case 7858 is divided by 11 (Long Division) and the remainder is the Check Digit.
1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 | 10 | 11 |
