Decoding Process: aW5zdGFsbG1lbnQ= to installment

About the '=' Padding

The '=' at the end of "aW5zdGFsbG1lbnQ=" 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
z	110011	51
d	011101	29
G	000110	6
F	000101	5
s	101100	44
b	011011	27
G	000110	6
1	110101	53
l	100101	37
b	011011	27
n	100111	39
Q	010000	16
=	padding (000000)	-

Step 2: Group Bits into Bytes

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

01101001 01101110 01110011 01110100 01100001 01101100 01101100 01101101 01100101 01101110 01110100 00

Step 3: Convert Binary to ASCII

Binary Value	ASCII Character
01101001	i
01101110	n
01110011	s
01110100	t
01100001	a
01101100	l
01101100	l
01101101	m
01100101	e
01101110	n
01110100	t
00

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