Find the sum of the digits in positions: 1, 3, 5, 7, 9 and 11 Triple the result Add the remaining digits Find the total of both results The check digit should make the total end in zero.

Ex: Determine the check digit that should be appended to the UPC identification number: 0 38000 00127 7 0 + 8 + 0 + 0 + 1 + 7 = 16 16 (3) = 48 3 + 0 + 0 + 0 + 2 + 7 = 12 48 + 12 = 60 Therefore 60 is the check digit because it ends in zero.
