Decoding Process: bW91bnRhaW4= to mountain

About the '=' Padding

The '=' at the end of "bW91bnRhaW4=" 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
W	010110	22
9	111101	61
1	110101	53
b	011011	27
n	100111	39
R	010001	17
h	100001	33
a	011010	26
W	010110	22
4	111000	56
=	padding (000000)	-

Step 2: Group Bits into Bytes

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

01101101 01101111 01110101 01101110 01110100 01100001 01101001 01101110 00

Step 3: Convert Binary to ASCII

Binary Value	ASCII Character
01101101	m
01101111	o
01110101	u
01101110	n
01110100	t
01100001	a
01101001	i
01101110	n
00

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