About the '=' Padding

The '=' at the end of "bGltaXRlZA==" 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
G	000110	6
l	100101	37
t	101101	45
a	011010	26
X	010111	23
R	010001	17
l	100101	37
Z	011001	25
A	000000	0
=	padding (000000)	-
=	padding (000000)	-

Step 2: Group Bits into Bytes

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

01101100 01101001 01101101 01101001 01110100 01100101 01100100 0000

Step 3: Convert Binary to ASCII

Binary Value	ASCII Character
01101100	l
01101001	i
01101101	m
01101001	i
01110100	t
01100101	e
01100100	d
0000

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