Decoding Process: Zm9yZWNsb3N1cmU= to foreclosure

About the '=' Padding

The '=' at the end of "Zm9yZWNsb3N1cmU=" 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
m	100110	38
9	111101	61
y	110010	50
Z	011001	25
W	010110	22
N	001101	13
s	101100	44
b	011011	27
3	110111	55
N	001101	13
1	110101	53
c	011100	28
m	100110	38
U	010100	20
=	padding (000000)	-

Step 2: Group Bits into Bytes

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

01100110 01101111 01110010 01100101 01100011 01101100 01101111 01110011 01110101 01110010 01100101 00

Step 3: Convert Binary to ASCII

Binary Value	ASCII Character
01100110	f
01101111	o
01110010	r
01100101	e
01100011	c
01101100	l
01101111	o
01110011	s
01110101	u
01110010	r
01100101	e
00

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