Course Work Mte 3101

This document contains a student's work for a course MTE 3101. It addresses calculating the check digit for different ISBN numbers. For each ISBN number provided (a) through (d), the student shows the calculation of summing the digits weighted from left to right, finding the remainder modulo 11, and determining the check digit needed to make the sum equal 0 modulo 11. The student correctly identifies the check digit for each ISBN number as 8, 9, 4, and 6, respectively.

QUESTION

1. An International Standard Book Number (ISBN) is used to identify books. The


ISBN numbers for a certain book is 0-534-36890-5. The last digit is called the
check digit and is used as follows. Multiply the first digit by 10, the next digit by 9,
and so on :
10(0) + 9(5) + 8(3) + 7(4) + 6(3) + 5(6) + 4(8) + 3(9) + 2(0) + 1(5) = 209
This number is congruent to 0, (mod 11). This is not by chance. The check digit,
5, is chosen so that this sum is 0, (mod 11). In other words, the check digit x for
the book with ISBN number 0-534-34015-x is found by considering
10(0) + 9(5) + 8(3) + 7(4) + 6(3) + 5(4) + 4(0) + 3(1) + 2(5) = 148 ≡ 5
This means that for check digit x, 5+x ≡ 0,(mod 11).The one-digit solution to this
equation is x=6, so the check digit is 6.
What is the check digit for the book with the given ISBN in Problems (a) – (d).
(a) 0-534-13728-x
(b) 0-434-16778-x
(c) 0-784-13768-x
(d) 0-924-18828-x
SOLUTION
1.
(a) 0-534-13728-x
10(0) + 9(5) + 8(3) + 7(4) + 6(1) + 5(3) + 4(7) + 3(2) + 2(8) = 168 ≡ 3
= 3(mod 11)
3+x=0 (mod 11) This means that for check digit x, 3+x ≡ 0,(mod 11).

3+x=11 The one-digit solution to this equation is x=8, so the

x=8 check digit is 8.

To check the answer,


Substitute the value of x
10(0) + 9(5) + 8(3) + 7(4) + 6(1) + 5(3) + 4(7) + 3(2) + 2(8) + 1(8) = 176 ≡ 0
Hence, the check digit is 8.

(b) 0-434-16778-x
10(0) + 9(4) + 8(3) + 7(4) + 6(1) + 5(6) + 4(7) + 3(7) + 2(8) = 189 ≡ 2
= 2(mod 11)
2+x=0 (mod 11) This means that for check digit x, 2+x ≡ 0,(mod 11).
2+x=11 The one-digit solution to this equation is x=9, so the
x=9 check digit is 9.
To check the answer,
Substitute the value of x.
10(0) + 9(4) + 8(3) + 7(4) + 6(1) + 5(6) + 4(7) + 3(7) + 2(8) + 1(9) = 198 ≡ 0
Hence, the check digit is 9.
(c) 0-784-13768-x
10(0) + 9(7) + 8(8) + 7(4) + 6(1) + 5(3) + 4(7) + 3(6) + 2(8) = 238 ≡ 7
= 7(mod 11)
7+x=0 (mod 11) This means that for check digit x, 7+x ≡ 0,(mod 11).
7+x=11 The one-digit solution to this equation is x=4, so the
x=4 check digit is 4.
To check the answer,
Substitute the value of x
10(0) + 9(7) + 8(8) + 7(4) + 6(1) + 5(3) + 4(7) + 3(6) + 2(8) + 1(4) = 242 ≡ 0
Hence, the check digit is 4.

(d) 0-924-18828-x
10(0) + 9(9) + 8(2) + 7(4) + 6(1) + 5(8) + 4(8) + 3(2) + 2(8) = 225 ≡ 5
= 5(mod 11)
5+x=0 (mod 11) This means that for check digit x, 5+x ≡ 0,(mod 11).
5+x=11 The one-digit solution to this equation is x=6, so the
x=6 check digit is 6.
To check the answer,
Substitute the value of x
10(0) + 9(9) + 8(2) + 7(4) + 6(1) + 5(8) + 4(8) + 3(2) + 2(8) + 1(6) = 231 ≡ 0
Hence, the check digit is 6.
