The International Standard Book Number (ISBN) is a unique numeric book identifier which is printed on every book. The ISBN is based upon a 10-digit code.

The ISBN is legal if:
1 × digit1 + 2 × digit2 + 3 × digit3 + 4 × digit4 + 5 × digit5 + 6 × digit6 + 7 × digit7 + 8 × digit8 + 9 × digit9 + 10 × digit10 is divisible by 11.

Example:
For an ISBN 1401601499
Sum = 1 × 1 + 2 × 4 + 3 × 0 + 4 × 1 + 5 × 6 + 6 × 0 + 7 × 1 + 8 × 4 + 9 × 9 + 10 × 9 = 253 which is divisible by 11.
