Credit cards have 16-digit numbers, of which the first 15 digits identify the credit card and the sixteenth digit is the check digit.

Visa card begin with a 4 and MaterCard cards begin with a 5.

1. MasterCard numbers begin with 51,52,53,54,or 55. What is the maximum number of credit cards that MasterCard can issue?

5[(first two digits] 1013 1[check digit is determined by the previous digits]= 5(1013)

A check digit is used to help validate credit card numbers. The credit card companies use the CODABAR method to determine the check digit. This method consists of the following:

a. Add the digits in the odd-numbered positions and double the total

b.add how many odd-position digits that are more that 4 to the total

c. add the even-position digitsd.choose a check digit that makes this

calculation total a number whose final digit is 0.

2. Visa card 4162 0012 3456 789d (d=3?)

2(4+6+0+1+3+5+7+9)+ 4 +(1+2+0+2+4+6+8+d)

2(35)+ 4 +(23+d) 2(35)+ 4 +(23+d)

97 + d97 + d needs to equal a number that ends in 0

so d = 3

3. What is the check digit (d) for the MasterCard number 5424 9813 2720 008d?

2(5+2+9+1+2+2+0+8)+ 3 +(4+4+8+3+7+0+0+d) 2(29)+ 3 +(26+d)

87+d so d = 34. Show that 4128 0012 4389 0110 is an invalid

Visa Credit card number.

2(4+2+0+1+4+8+0+1)+ 1 +(1+8+0+2+3+9+1+0) 2(20)+ 1 +(24)

65, so not valid because it does not end in 0.

6. Suppose you entered 8 instead of 9 when recording the credit card number

4001 2560 0196 4310 explain why it will detect this error…

2(9) – 2(8) = 2, so the sum of the weighted sum of the digits will be off by 2 and will not end

in 0.

Do you think the Codabar method will detect all such single-digit errors?

YES

7. The codabar method detects 98% of all transposition errors. There is one pair of numbers, however, that when transposed will not be detected by the Codabar method. When will it not matter?

4001 2560 0196 4310

4001 2560 0196 4310

if you transpose any of the red numbers with each other or any of the black numbers with

each other it will not effect the Codabar method,
