Decoding Process: YmVsb25nZWQ= to belonged

About the '=' Padding

The '=' at the end of "YmVsb25nZWQ=" 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
m	100110	38
V	010101	21
s	101100	44
b	011011	27
2	110110	54
5	111001	57
n	100111	39
Z	011001	25
W	010110	22
Q	010000	16
=	padding (000000)	-

Step 2: Group Bits into Bytes

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

01100010 01100101 01101100 01101111 01101110 01100111 01100101 01100100 00

Step 3: Convert Binary to ASCII

Binary Value	ASCII Character
01100010	b
01100101	e
01101100	l
01101111	o
01101110	n
01100111	g
01100101	e
01100100	d
00

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