Method of Calculating Chequesum

The cheque digit is the routing number's ninth digit and must meet the following criteria.

3(d1 + d4 + d7) + 7(d2 + d5 + d8) + (d3 + d6 + d9) mod 10 = 0
(Mod or modulo is the remainder of a division operation.)

As an example, the routing number of Bank Of America, Virginia is 011900571. So, according to the chequesum calculation method -

0	1	1	9	0	0	5	7	1
D1	D2	D3	D4	D5	D6	D7	D8	D9

3(0 + 9 + 5) + 7(1 + 0 + 7) + (1 + 0 + 1) =100
100 mod 10 = 0
