Decoding Process: ZXh0cmFjdGluZw== to extracting

About the '=' Padding

The '=' at the end of "ZXh0cmFjdGluZw==" 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
X	010111	23
h	100001	33
0	110100	52
c	011100	28
m	100110	38
F	000101	5
j	100011	35
d	011101	29
G	000110	6
l	100101	37
u	101110	46
Z	011001	25
w	110000	48
=	padding (000000)	-
=	padding (000000)	-

Step 2: Group Bits into Bytes

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

01100101 01111000 01110100 01110010 01100001 01100011 01110100 01101001 01101110 01100111 0000

Step 3: Convert Binary to ASCII

Binary Value	ASCII Character
01100101	e
01111000	x
01110100	t
01110010	r
01100001	a
01100011	c
01110100	t
01101001	i
01101110	n
01100111	g
0000

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