Decoding Process: Z2F1c3NpYW4= to gaussian

About the '=' Padding

The '=' at the end of "Z2F1c3NpYW4=" 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
Z	011001	25
2	110110	54
F	000101	5
1	110101	53
c	011100	28
3	110111	55
N	001101	13
p	101001	41
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):

01100111 01100001 01110101 01110011 01110011 01101001 01100001 01101110 00

Step 3: Convert Binary to ASCII

Binary Value	ASCII Character
01100111	g
01100001	a
01110101	u
01110011	s
01110011	s
01101001	i
01100001	a
01101110	n
00

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