GROUP IDENTIFIER

ISBN-10 CHECK DIGITS THE 2001 EDITION OF THE OFFICIAL MANUAL

OF THE INTERNATIONAL ISBN AGENCY SAYS THAT THE ISBN-10 CHECK DIGIT– WHICH IS THE LAST DIGIT OF THE TEN-DIGIT ISBN – MUST RANGE FROM 0 TO 10 (THE SYMBOL X IS USED FOR 10), AND MUST BE SUCH THAT THE SUM OF ALL THE TEN DIGITS, EACH MULTIPLIED BY ITS (INTEGER) WEIGHT, DESCENDING FROM 10 TO 1, IS A MULTIPLE OF 11.

FOR EXAMPLE, FOR AN ISBN-10 OF 0-306-40615-2

ISBN check digit is calculated. The ISBN-13 check digit, which is the last digit of the ISBN, must range from 0 to 9 and must be such that the sum of all the thirteen digits, each multiplied by its (integer) weight, alternating between 1 and 3, is a multiple of 10.

For example, the ISBN-13 check digit of 978-0-306-40615-? is calculated as follows:

9×1 + 7×3 + 8×1 + 0×3 + 3×1 + 0×3 + 6×1 + 4×3 + 0×1 + 6×3 + 1×1 + 5×3 = 9 + 21 + 8 + 0 + 3 + 0 + 6 + 12 + 0 + 18 + 1 + 15 = 93 93 / 10 = 9 remainder 3 10 – 3 = 7 Thus, the check digit is 7, and the complete sequence is ISBN 978-0-306-

40615-7.
