A simple error of data entry when two digits in a number are reversed (transposed).


Details of their work can be found at: www.eact.eu.
When two adjacent digits are transposed the error will always be divisible by 9.


For example:
If 3,460 should be 3,640
the difference is 180 (3,640-3,460=180)
180/9 = 20.

1. A simple error of data entry when two digits in a number are reversed (transposed).

When two adjacent digits are transposed the error will always be divisible by 9.

For example: If 3,460 should be 3,640 the difference is 180 (3,640-3,460=180) 180/9 = 20.


2. Similar errors with non-numerical data. For example ABC entered wrongly as ACB.
