Decoding Process: Z2VvZmZyZXk= to geoffrey

About the '=' Padding

The '=' at the end of "Z2VvZmZyZXk=" 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
V	010101	21
v	101111	47
Z	011001	25
m	100110	38
Z	011001	25
y	110010	50
Z	011001	25
X	010111	23
k	100100	36
=	padding (000000)	-

Step 2: Group Bits into Bytes

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

01100111 01100101 01101111 01100110 01100110 01110010 01100101 01111001 00

Step 3: Convert Binary to ASCII

Binary Value	ASCII Character
01100111	g
01100101	e
01101111	o
01100110	f
01100110	f
01110010	r
01100101	e
01111001	y
00

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