About the '=' Padding

The '=' at the end of "Y2FyYm9oeWRyYXRlcw==" is padding. Base64 encoding requires the input length to be divisible by 4. When it's not, '=' characters are added as padding. These padding characters are represented as '000000' in binary but are not used in the final decoded output.

Step 1: Map Base64 Characters to Binary

Base64 Character	Binary Value	Decimal Value
Y	011000	24
2	110110	54
F	000101	5
y	110010	50
Y	011000	24
m	100110	38
9	111101	61
o	101000	40
e	011110	30
W	010110	22
R	010001	17
y	110010	50
Y	011000	24
X	010111	23
R	010001	17
l	100101	37
c	011100	28
w	110000	48
=	padding (000000)	-
=	padding (000000)	-

Step 2: Group Bits into Bytes

The binary string is grouped into 8-bit chunks (1 byte each):

01100011 01100001 01110010 01100010 01101111 01101000 01111001 01100100 01110010 01100001 01110100 01100101 01110011 0000

Step 3: Convert Binary to ASCII

Binary Value	ASCII Character
01100011	c
01100001	a
01110010	r
01100010	b
01101111	o
01101000	h
01111001	y
01100100	d
01110010	r
01100001	a
01110100	t
01100101	e
01110011	s
0000

When combined, these characters form the decoded string: "carbohydrates"
