Decoding Process: ZGlzdG9ydGlvbg== to distortion

About the '=' Padding

The '=' at the end of "ZGlzdG9ydGlvbg==" 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
d	011101	29
G	000110	6
9	111101	61
y	110010	50
d	011101	29
G	000110	6
l	100101	37
v	101111	47
b	011011	27
g	100000	32
=	padding (000000)	-
=	padding (000000)	-

Step 2: Group Bits into Bytes

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

01100100 01101001 01110011 01110100 01101111 01110010 01110100 01101001 01101111 01101110 0000

Step 3: Convert Binary to ASCII

Binary Value	ASCII Character
01100100	d
01101001	i
01110011	s
01110100	t
01101111	o
01110010	r
01110100	t
01101001	i
01101111	o
01101110	n
0000

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