Decoding Process: aG9tZXdvcms= to homework

About the '=' Padding

The '=' at the end of "aG9tZXdvcms=" 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
t	101101	45
Z	011001	25
X	010111	23
d	011101	29
v	101111	47
c	011100	28
m	100110	38
s	101100	44
=	padding (000000)	-

Step 2: Group Bits into Bytes

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

01101000 01101111 01101101 01100101 01110111 01101111 01110010 01101011 00

Step 3: Convert Binary to ASCII

Binary Value	ASCII Character
01101000	h
01101111	o
01101101	m
01100101	e
01110111	w
01101111	o
01110010	r
01101011	k
00

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