:: Social Insurance Numbers are validated by a simple checksum process. ::
:: ::
:: Example using a valid Social Insurance Number: ::
:: ::
:: 236 454 286 (Social Insurance Number) ::
:: ::
:: 236 454 286 \ Multiply each top number ::
:: 121 212 121 / by the number below it ::
:: ----------- ::
:: 266 858 276 and get this. ::
:: ^ ::
:: ^ ::
:: Notice here that 8*2=16, add the 1 and ::
:: the 6 together from 16 and get 7. If you get a ::
:: 2 digit number always add the digits together. ::
:: ::
:: 2+6+6+8+5+8+2+7+6=50 (Now Add all the digits together) ::
:: ^^ ::
:: ^^ ::
:: If the Social Insurance Number is valid this ::
:: number will be evenly divisible by 10. ::
:: ::
:: Since 50 is a multiple of 10 our example is a valid Social Insurance No. ::
