Decoding Process: ZGlzY29ncmFwaHk= to discography

About the '=' Padding

The '=' at the end of "ZGlzY29ncmFwaHk=" 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
z	110011	51
Y	011000	24
2	110110	54
9	111101	61
n	100111	39
c	011100	28
m	100110	38
F	000101	5
w	110000	48
a	011010	26
H	000111	7
k	100100	36
=	padding (000000)	-

Step 2: Group Bits into Bytes

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

01100100 01101001 01110011 01100011 01101111 01100111 01110010 01100001 01110000 01101000 01111001 00

Step 3: Convert Binary to ASCII

Binary Value	ASCII Character
01100100	d
01101001	i
01110011	s
01100011	c
01101111	o
01100111	g
01110010	r
01100001	a
01110000	p
01101000	h
01111001	y
00

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