Decoding Process: aGFsaWZheA== to halifax

About the '=' Padding

The '=' at the end of "aGFsaWZheA==" 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
F	000101	5
s	101100	44
a	011010	26
W	010110	22
Z	011001	25
h	100001	33
e	011110	30
A	000000	0
=	padding (000000)	-
=	padding (000000)	-

Step 2: Group Bits into Bytes

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

01101000 01100001 01101100 01101001 01100110 01100001 01111000 0000

Step 3: Convert Binary to ASCII

Binary Value	ASCII Character
01101000	h
01100001	a
01101100	l
01101001	i
01100110	f
01100001	a
01111000	x
0000

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