Decoding Process: aW5kaXZpZHVhbHM= to individuals

About the '=' Padding

The '=' at the end of "aW5kaXZpZHVhbHM=" 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
W	010110	22
5	111001	57
k	100100	36
a	011010	26
X	010111	23
Z	011001	25
p	101001	41
Z	011001	25
H	000111	7
V	010101	21
h	100001	33
b	011011	27
H	000111	7
M	001100	12
=	padding (000000)	-

Step 2: Group Bits into Bytes

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

01101001 01101110 01100100 01101001 01110110 01101001 01100100 01110101 01100001 01101100 01110011 00

Step 3: Convert Binary to ASCII

Binary Value	ASCII Character
01101001	i
01101110	n
01100100	d
01101001	i
01110110	v
01101001	i
01100100	d
01110101	u
01100001	a
01101100	l
01110011	s
00

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