You can't derive public key from the address. The address is derived from the public key through a one way function.
Should I tell OP they can try breaking SHA256 and RIPEMD160 to reverse the public key hash into a public key or will it just cause more confusion? Grin

@OP, you want to read these:

Ok thanks let me read these topics.

Hello everyone,

I want to know how I can find the public key (compressed or uncompressed) of any address, because i see there are too many addresses but they didn't have the public key so i check them blockchair.com and other explorer but they also didn't show the public key.

Here is the sample address: 1N45DoSuhiNi5dCqMTpC2k3tfSaHEw1uKk

No - I want to know the calculation of first 35 characters in wif (compress or uncompressed) format remaining 17 will be find with brute force.
A private key is not calculated from anything - it is simply a random number between 1 and (a little less than) 2256. To convert from a raw private key to WIF, you first take your 64 character hexadecimal private key, add the 0x80 network byte at the start, at an 0x01 at the end if it is going to be a compressed key, add the first 4 bytes of the double SHA256 of this string at the end as a checksum, then convert all of this from Base16 to Base58. Reverse the process to go from WIF back to raw hex.

But you are asking a question about a method you are (probably incorrectly) trying rather than asking a question about the underlying problem itself. What part of a private key do you currently have and in what format?

Ok let me explain in another way.

Here is the address: 1PaJvUDUKm3Xr4FJJZS53ooNFFZXVZk3v
Here is the Public key: 02fd9507ccb8ea63c3b7011cc594f8049ebc0063df7cff6ac960d3442f91fd6b81

Now lets suppose this is the private key in Wif format starting with 5: 5KJyGeq5gngHP25WMwpNb2jGwRGGerdrasY7rBzKXFVBZ7ZkWBn

Split into 2 parts
First 35 characters : 5KJyGeq5gngHP25WMwpNb2jGwRGGerdras
Last 17 characters : Y7rBzKXFVBZ7ZkWBn

Now my question is that how can i Calculate the exact first part of this address.
because i know if i get the first part then remining 17 will be find with brute force.

You have missed the first 35 characters of your private key and now you want to calculate them? Am I getting you correctly? If so, there is no solution for that.
If you had missed a few characters, you could find them through brute-force method. But there is no way to brute-force a private key with 35 missing characters.
