CHECK DIGIT LOGIC
Here is the check digit logic for our 10-digit common PRO number.
Given: X1 X2 X3 - X4 X5 X6 X7 X8 X9 X10
Check Digit = ( 3 * (X1 + X3 + X5 + X7 + X9) + (X2 + X4 + X6 + X8+ X10) ) MOD 10

MOD 10
For those of you not familiar with MOD 10, this is the remainder left over when you divide a number by 10. Here are some examples:
7 MOD 10 = 7 ( 7 / 10 = 0 remainder 7)
10 MOD 10 = 0 (10 / 10 = 1 remainder 0)
14 MOD 10 = 4 (14 / 10 = 1 remainder 4)
35 MOD 10 = 5 (35 / 10 = 3 remainder 5)
86 MOD 10 = 6 (86 / 10 = 8 remainder 6)
