Decoding Process: YW5udWl0eQ== to annuity

About the '=' Padding

The '=' at the end of "YW5udWl0eQ==" 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
W	010110	22
5	111001	57
u	101110	46
d	011101	29
W	010110	22
l	100101	37
0	110100	52
e	011110	30
Q	010000	16
=	padding (000000)	-
=	padding (000000)	-

Step 2: Group Bits into Bytes

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

01100001 01101110 01101110 01110101 01101001 01110100 01111001 0000

Step 3: Convert Binary to ASCII

Binary Value	ASCII Character
01100001	a
01101110	n
01101110	n
01110101	u
01101001	i
01110100	t
01111001	y
0000

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