Decoding Process: aG9yc2Vwb3dlcg== to horsepower

About the '=' Padding

The '=' at the end of "aG9yc2Vwb3dlcg==" 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
y	110010	50
c	011100	28
2	110110	54
V	010101	21
w	110000	48
b	011011	27
3	110111	55
d	011101	29
l	100101	37
c	011100	28
g	100000	32
=	padding (000000)	-
=	padding (000000)	-

Step 2: Group Bits into Bytes

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

01101000 01101111 01110010 01110011 01100101 01110000 01101111 01110111 01100101 01110010 0000

Step 3: Convert Binary to ASCII

Binary Value	ASCII Character
01101000	h
01101111	o
01110010	r
01110011	s
01100101	e
01110000	p
01101111	o
01110111	w
01100101	e
01110010	r
0000

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