Decoding Process: bW9ydGdhZ2U= to mortgage

About the '=' Padding

The '=' at the end of "bW9ydGdhZ2U=" 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
y	110010	50
d	011101	29
G	000110	6
d	011101	29
h	100001	33
Z	011001	25
2	110110	54
U	010100	20
=	padding (000000)	-

Step 2: Group Bits into Bytes

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

01101101 01101111 01110010 01110100 01100111 01100001 01100111 01100101 00

Step 3: Convert Binary to ASCII

Binary Value	ASCII Character
01101101	m
01101111	o
01110010	r
01110100	t
01100111	g
01100001	a
01100111	g
01100101	e
00

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