8137225 and whats the letter?
If my IC number is 8137225, what will be my last letter?
I'll take,
8 x 2 = 16
1 x 7 = 7
3 x 6 = 18
7 x 5 = 35
2 x 4 = 8
2 x 3 = 6
5 x 2 = 10
I shall sum up the products,
16+7+18+35+8+6+10= 100
Next I will divide the sum by 11 to obtain a remainder value,
100/11 = 9 r 1
Now with this remainder of 1, I will refer to the following reference,
10=A
9=B
8=C
7=D
6=E
5=F
4=G
3=H
2=I
1=Z
0=J
The last letter of my IC is Z...
Credit goes to Ngiam Shih Tung for showing us all the algorithm which the government will charge S$200 for use. Now its yours for free. So far it works only for S-series IC numbers.

I have done it up on MS Excel for convenient usage in 8 minutes. Do yours and we can compare how our minds work.
