Decoding Process: ZGlub3NhdXI= to dinosaur

About the '=' Padding

The '=' at the end of "ZGlub3NhdXI=" 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
G	000110	6
l	100101	37
u	101110	46
b	011011	27
3	110111	55
N	001101	13
h	100001	33
d	011101	29
X	010111	23
I	001000	8
=	padding (000000)	-

Step 2: Group Bits into Bytes

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

01100100 01101001 01101110 01101111 01110011 01100001 01110101 01110010 00

Step 3: Convert Binary to ASCII

Binary Value	ASCII Character
01100100	d
01101001	i
01101110	n
01101111	o
01110011	s
01100001	a
01110101	u
01110010	r
00

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