Decoding Process: bmV3c3dlZWs= to newsweek

About the '=' Padding

The '=' at the end of "bmV3c3dlZWs=" 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
m	100110	38
V	010101	21
3	110111	55
c	011100	28
3	110111	55
d	011101	29
l	100101	37
Z	011001	25
W	010110	22
s	101100	44
=	padding (000000)	-

Step 2: Group Bits into Bytes

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

01101110 01100101 01110111 01110011 01110111 01100101 01100101 01101011 00

Step 3: Convert Binary to ASCII

Binary Value	ASCII Character
01101110	n
01100101	e
01110111	w
01110011	s
01110111	w
01100101	e
01100101	e
01101011	k
00

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