Luhn Algorithm Test: How the Mod 10 Check Works
Run a Luhn algorithm test by hand: double every second digit from the right, sum the digits, and pass the number when the total divides by 10.

The Luhn test, also known as the mod 10 algorithm, is a simple checksum formula used to validate a variety of identification numbers, most notably credit card numbers. It's designed to protect against accidental errors in data entry.
To perform the Luhn test, you start from the rightmost digit of the number, double every second digit from the right, and if the doubled value is greater than 9, subtract 9 from it. Then, sum all the digits together. If the total modulo 10 is 0, the number is valid according to the Luhn test.
The Luhn test is crucial for preventing fraud and ensuring data integrity. By using this test, you can quickly check if a credit card number has been entered correctly, helping to reduce errors and potential security breaches.
