Decoding Process: b2hpbw== to ohio

About the '=' Padding

The '=' at the end of "b2hpbw==" 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
b	011011	27
2	110110	54
h	100001	33
p	101001	41
b	011011	27
w	110000	48
=	padding (000000)	-
=	padding (000000)	-

Step 2: Group Bits into Bytes

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

01101111 01101000 01101001 01101111 0000

Step 3: Convert Binary to ASCII

Binary Value	ASCII Character
01101111	o
01101000	h
01101001	i
01101111	o
0000

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