Decoding Process: bWFtbW90aA== to mammoth

About the '=' Padding

The '=' at the end of "bWFtbW90aA==" 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
F	000101	5
t	101101	45
b	011011	27
W	010110	22
9	111101	61
0	110100	52
a	011010	26
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):

01101101 01100001 01101101 01101101 01101111 01110100 01101000 0000

Step 3: Convert Binary to ASCII

Binary Value	ASCII Character
01101101	m
01100001	a
01101101	m
01101101	m
01101111	o
01110100	t
01101000	h
0000

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