Convert 1FwZXt6EpRT7Fkndzv6K4b4DFoT4trbMrV first decode the Base58 format to obtain the raw binary data, and then encode that to decimal
To decode the Base58 string `1FwZXt6EpRT7Fkndzv6K4b4DFoT4trbMrV`, we'll first convert it from Base58 to binary, and then we can calculate its decimal representation. Here's a general process to do that:
### Step 1: Base58 to Binary
1. **Base58 Alphabet**: The Base58 alphabet is:
```
123456789ABCDEFGHJKLMNPQRSTUVWXYZabcdefghijkmnopqrstuvwxyz
```
2. **Conversion**:
Each character in the Base58 string corresponds to a value:
- The first character '1' corresponds to 0.
- The second character 'F' corresponds to 15 (note: the index starts from 0).
- Continue this for all characters in `1FwZXt6EpRT7Fkndzv6K4b4DFoT4trbMrV`.
To decode, we start from the leftmost character, convert each to its equivalent value, and build the resulting number in base 10.
The final binary number (in byte format) is obtained through successive multiplications and additions according to its position (multiplying by 58 for each subsequent character).
### Example Calculation:
For the string `1FwZXt6EpRT7Fkndzv6K4b4DFoT4trbMrV`, a rough simplified calculation can be as follows (not complete):
```plaintext
1 -> 0
F -> 15
w -> 54
Z -> 33
X -> 31
t -> 51
6 -> 5
E -> 14
p -> 41
R -> 29
T -> 28
7 -> 6
F -> 15
k -> 36
n -> 39
d -> 12
z -> 61
v -> 57
6 -> 5
K -> 18
4 -> 3
b -> 27
4 -> 3
D -> 13
F -> 15
o -> 46
T -> 28
4 -> 3
t -> 51
r -> 43
b -> 27
M -> 22
r -> 43
V -> 31
```
This results in a very large number as you convert each Base58 character to a numeral and build up through the base conversion (58^n for the nth character).
### Step 2: Convert Binary to Decimal
Once you have the raw binary representation, you can convert that binary data into a decimal equivalent.
Since doing this manually is lengthy and can lead to inaccuracies, using programming or specific libraries can help automate decoding Base58 to binary, and then converting to decimal.
### Using Python for Automating:
Here's Python code that can be used:
```python
import base58
# The Base58 string to decode
base58_string = '1FwZXt6EpRT7Fkndzv6K4b4DFoT4trbMrV'
# Decode from Base58
binary_data = base58.b58decode(base58_string)
# Convert to integer (decimal)
decimal_value = int.from_bytes(binary_data, byteorder='big')
print(decimal_value)
```
### Result:
Running the above code will give you the decimal representation of the Base58 encoded input.
