In order((("public key cryptography", "base58check encoding", id="pub-key-base58")))((("base58check encoding", id="base58")))((("encoding", "base58check", id="encode-base58"))) to represent long numbers in a compact way,
using fewer symbols, many computer systems use mixed-alphanumeric
representations with a base (or radix) higher than 10. For example,
whereas the traditional decimal system uses 10 numerals, 0 through 9,

whereas the traditional ((("decimal system")))decimal system uses 10 numerals, 0 through 9,
the ((("hexadecimal system")))hexadecimal system uses 16, with the letters A through F as the six
additional symbols. A number represented in hexadecimal format is
shorter than the equivalent decimal representation. Even more compact,

base64 representation ((("base64 encoding")))uses 26 lowercase letters, 26 capital letters, 10
numerals, and 2 more characters such as "+" and "/" to
transmit binary data over text-based media such as email.
