Answer:

The check digit is 7.

Explanation:

Check digit can be calculated by the following way:

  • Add all the digits except the check digit that is the last digit on the right side.

Total = 0 + 2 + 4 + 6 + 7 + 9 + 3 + 6 + 1 + 6 + 3

Total = 47

  • Add the digits at odd starting from left, double this amount and finally add it with the total from step 1.

= 0 + 4 + 7 + 3 + 1 + 3

Sum = 18

Doubling the sum = 36

Adding it with the total from step 1, we get

Total = 36 + 47

Total = 83

  • Subtract the last digit of the total from step 2 with 10, and this will be check digit.

Check Digit = 10 - 3

Check Digit = 7
