Decoding Process: aGVhdnl3ZWlnaHQ= to heavyweight

About the '=' Padding

The '=' at the end of "aGVhdnl3ZWlnaHQ=" 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
V	010101	21
h	100001	33
d	011101	29
n	100111	39
l	100101	37
3	110111	55
Z	011001	25
W	010110	22
l	100101	37
n	100111	39
a	011010	26
H	000111	7
Q	010000	16
=	padding (000000)	-

Step 2: Group Bits into Bytes

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

01101000 01100101 01100001 01110110 01111001 01110111 01100101 01101001 01100111 01101000 01110100 00

Step 3: Convert Binary to ASCII

Binary Value	ASCII Character
01101000	h
01100101	e
01100001	a
01110110	v
01111001	y
01110111	w
01100101	e
01101001	i
01100111	g
01101000	h
01110100	t
00

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