Decoding Process: aHlkcm9jb2RvbmU= to hydrocodone

About the '=' Padding

The '=' at the end of "aHlkcm9jb2RvbmU=" 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
H	000111	7
l	100101	37
k	100100	36
c	011100	28
m	100110	38
9	111101	61
j	100011	35
b	011011	27
2	110110	54
R	010001	17
v	101111	47
b	011011	27
m	100110	38
U	010100	20
=	padding (000000)	-

Step 2: Group Bits into Bytes

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

01101000 01111001 01100100 01110010 01101111 01100011 01101111 01100100 01101111 01101110 01100101 00

Step 3: Convert Binary to ASCII

Binary Value	ASCII Character
01101000	h
01111001	y
01100100	d
01110010	r
01101111	o
01100011	c
01101111	o
01100100	d
01101111	o
01101110	n
01100101	e
00

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