1.First add all the numbers in the ODD positions. i.e., 0+2+4+6+8+0 = 20

2.Multiply the result of Step 1 by 3. i.e., 20 x 3 = 60

3.Add up all the numbers in the EVEN positions. i.e., 1+3+5+7+9 = 25

4.Add the result of Step 2 to that of Step 3. i.e., 60 + 25 = 85

5.Subtract the result of Step 4 from the next highest increment of 10.

i.e., 90 - 85 = 5

6.The correct Modulo 10 check digit for the 11 digit string “01234567890” is 5.
