About the '=' Padding

The '=' at the end of "aG91c2Vob2xkZXI=" 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
a	011010	26
G	000110	6
9	111101	61
1	110101	53
c	011100	28
2	110110	54
V	010101	21
o	101000	40
b	011011	27
2	110110	54
x	110001	49
k	100100	36
Z	011001	25
X	010111	23
I	001000	8
=	padding (000000)	-

Step 2: Group Bits into Bytes

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

01101000 01101111 01110101 01110011 01100101 01101000 01101111 01101100 01100100 01100101 01110010 00

Step 3: Convert Binary to ASCII

Binary Value	ASCII Character
01101000	h
01101111	o
01110101	u
01110011	s
01100101	e
01101000	h
01101111	o
01101100	l
01100100	d
01100101	e
01110010	r
00

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