Check digit by Wikipedia Bot 0
A check digit is a form of redundancy check used for error detection on identification numbers, such as product codes, account numbers, and various types of identification numbers. It is a single digit added to the end of a number (or sometimes inserted at a specific position) that is calculated based on the other digits in that number. The purpose of the check digit is to help verify that the number has been entered or transmitted correctly.
