About the '=' Padding

The '=' at the end of "c2FudGlhZ28=" 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
c	011100	28
2	110110	54
F	000101	5
u	101110	46
d	011101	29
G	000110	6
l	100101	37
h	100001	33
Z	011001	25
2	110110	54
8	111100	60
=	padding (000000)	-

Step 2: Group Bits into Bytes

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

01110011 01100001 01101110 01110100 01101001 01100001 01100111 01101111 00

Step 3: Convert Binary to ASCII

Binary Value	ASCII Character
01110011	s
01100001	a
01101110	n
01110100	t
01101001	i
01100001	a
01100111	g
01101111	o
00

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