Decoding Process: Y2hyb21hdG9ncmFwaHk= to chromatography

About the '=' Padding

The '=' at the end of "Y2hyb21hdG9ncmFwaHk=" 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
h	100001	33
y	110010	50
b	011011	27
2	110110	54
1	110101	53
h	100001	33
d	011101	29
G	000110	6
9	111101	61
n	100111	39
c	011100	28
m	100110	38
F	000101	5
w	110000	48
a	011010	26
H	000111	7
k	100100	36
=	padding (000000)	-

Step 2: Group Bits into Bytes

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

01100011 01101000 01110010 01101111 01101101 01100001 01110100 01101111 01100111 01110010 01100001 01110000 01101000 01111001 00

Step 3: Convert Binary to ASCII

Binary Value	ASCII Character
01100011	c
01101000	h
01110010	r
01101111	o
01101101	m
01100001	a
01110100	t
01101111	o
01100111	g
01110010	r
01100001	a
01110000	p
01101000	h
01111001	y
00

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