Decoding Process: Zmlyc3Rnb3Y= to firstgov

About the '=' Padding

The '=' at the end of "Zmlyc3Rnb3Y=" 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
l	100101	37
y	110010	50
c	011100	28
3	110111	55
R	010001	17
n	100111	39
b	011011	27
3	110111	55
Y	011000	24
=	padding (000000)	-

Step 2: Group Bits into Bytes

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

01100110 01101001 01110010 01110011 01110100 01100111 01101111 01110110 00

Step 3: Convert Binary to ASCII

Binary Value	ASCII Character
01100110	f
01101001	i
01110010	r
01110011	s
01110100	t
01100111	g
01101111	o
01110110	v
00

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