What is a valid credit card number?

All credit card numbers are divided into 3 parts:

• Issuer Identifier - 6 digits to identify the issuer of the card.
• Account Number - 6 to 9 digits to identify the individual account number.
• Check Digit - 1 digit computed as a checksum of the Issuer Identifier and the Account Number based on Luhn algorithm.

For example, credit card number "4417123456789113" consists of:

• "441712" - Identifies a Visa partner as the issuer.
• "345678911" - Identifies the holder's account number.
• "3" - Gives the checksum number.
