Decoding Process: YnVzaW5lc3NtYW4= to businessman

About the '=' Padding

The '=' at the end of "YnVzaW5lc3NtYW4=" 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
n	100111	39
V	010101	21
z	110011	51
a	011010	26
W	010110	22
5	111001	57
l	100101	37
c	011100	28
3	110111	55
N	001101	13
t	101101	45
Y	011000	24
W	010110	22
4	111000	56
=	padding (000000)	-

Step 2: Group Bits into Bytes

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

01100010 01110101 01110011 01101001 01101110 01100101 01110011 01110011 01101101 01100001 01101110 00

Step 3: Convert Binary to ASCII

Binary Value	ASCII Character
01100010	b
01110101	u
01110011	s
01101001	i
01101110	n
01100101	e
01110011	s
01110011	s
01101101	m
01100001	a
01101110	n
00

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