Silver_z 1st Gear July 24, 2003 Share July 24, 2003 (edited) For the first 3 alphabets, use their numeric value - 64. The constants are the code. Multiply constant to each respective numbers. Then add up all the figures and divide by 19. Use the remainder to reference the string of alphabets. Example SCE1234Z The numeric value of 'S' (uppercase) is 83, so you take 83 - 64 to get the value, which is 19. 'C' is 67 - 64 which is 3 and 'E' is 69 - 64 which is 5. Now you have a string of numbers, 19, 3, 5, 1, 2, 3, 4. Multiply each of this to the constant(value that does not change) 3, 14, 2, 12, 2, 11, 1 respectively. Now you will get a new set of values which are 57, 42, 10, 12, 4, 33, 4. Total this set of number 57+42+10+12+4+33+4=162 Divide the total of 162 by 19 to find the remainder. The remainder is 10. Using the string of alpha,AYUSPLJGDBZXTR, the number 10 alpha is the last alpha to the number plate. Note that you start with Zero, hence position for 'A' is zero. By the way, the numeric value of alphabets are as follows. Starting with 'A' with a value of 65, 'B' with 66 ............ till 'Z' with 90.

Lightspeed Clutched July 24, 2003 Share July 24, 2003 I mean.... What are the formula? Huh? dunno the formula...just use that excel file can already lar just key in the alphabets and numbers and click on the last square and the last alphabet will appear! for 3 digit numbers just add a ZERO in front as in 0444 for older plates such as EC or EZ ... by keying in SEC or SEZ ...works out to be the same thing Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
