Can Do PROB#1: Which of The Following Is A Valid and Correct UPC? Show Why The Other Numbers Are

C. 0-51000-02526-5 is the only valid UPC code provided. This is because when the check digit algorithm is applied, it results in a sum of 50 which is divisible by 10, indicating no errors. The other codes provided, A, B, F are invalid as their sums are not divisible by 10, showing an error. D and E are also valid codes as their sums are divisible by 10. The check digit generated for the sample product code 5-02003-91562 is 1, making the full valid UPC 5-02003-91562-1.

CAN DO

PROB#1: Which of the following is a valid and correct UPC? Show why the other numbers are
invalid.
A. 0-51000- 02562-4

0 5 1 0 0 0 0 2 5 6 2 4
3 1 3 1 3 1 3 1 3 1 3 1
0 5 3 0 0 0 0 2 15 6 6 4
41
From the congruence equation: 41 = 0 modulo 10
Since the sum (41) is not divisible by 10 that is 41/10 = 4.1
Therefore, an error is detected and the given UPC is incorrect and invalid.

B. 0-51000-02526-4

0 5 1 0 0 0 0 2 5 2 6 4
3 1 3 1 3 1 3 1 3 1 3 1
0 5 3 0 0 0 0 2 15 2 18 4
49
From the congruence equation: 49 = 0 modulo 10
Since the sum (49) is not divisible by 10 that is 49/10 = 4.9
Therefore, an error is detected and the given UPC is incorrect and invalid.

C. 0-51000-02526-5

0 5 1 0 0 0 0 2 5 2 6 5
3 1 3 1 3 1 3 1 3 1 3 1
0 5 3 0 0 0 0 2 15 2 18 5
50
From the congruence equation: 50 = 0 modulo 10
Since the sum (50) is divisible by 10 that is 50/10 = 5
Therefore, the given UPC is correct and valid.

D. 7-16829-13104-6

7 1 6 8 2 9 1 3 1 0 4 6
3 1 3 1 3 1 3 1 3 1 3 1
21 1 18 8 6 9 3 3 3 0 12 6
90
From the congruence equation: 90 = 0 modulo 10
Since the sum (90) is divisible by 10 that is 90/10 = 9
Therefore, the given UPC is correct and valid.

E. 3-23900-00127-5

3 2 3 9 0 0 0 0 1 2 7 5
3 1 3 1 3 1 3 1 3 1 3 1
9 2 9 9 0 0 0 0 3 2 21 5
60
From the congruence equation: 60 = 0 modulo 10
Since the sum (60) is divisible by 10 that is 60/10 = 6
Therefore, the given UPC is correct and valid.

F. 0-71649-36650-2

0 7 1 6 4 9 3 6 6 5 0 2
3 1 3 1 3 1 3 1 3 1 3 1
0 7 3 6 12 9 9 6 18 5 0 2
77
From the congruence equation: 77 = 0 modulo 10
Since the sum (77) is not divisible by 10 that is 77/10 = 7.7
Therefore, an error is detected and the given UPC is incorrect and invalid.

PROB#2: Consider the product identification number 5-02003-91562. Generate the check digit.

5 0 2 0 0 3 9 1 5 6 2 x
3 1 3 1 3 1 3 1 3 1 3 1
15 0 6 0 0 3 27 1 15 6 6 1x
79 + 1x
From the congruence equation: 79 + 1x = 0 modulo 10
Using Trial and error: try a value of x where the sum is divisible by 10.
Say x = 1: 79 + 1(1) = 0 modulo 10
80 = 0 modulo 10
Since the sum (80) is divisible by 10 that is 80/10 = 8
Thus, the check digit is 1.

UPC with check digit = 5-02003-91562-1
