Decoding Process: c2FwcGhpcmU= to sapphire

About the '=' Padding

The '=' at the end of "c2FwcGhpcmU=" 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
w	110000	48
c	011100	28
G	000110	6
h	100001	33
p	101001	41
c	011100	28
m	100110	38
U	010100	20
=	padding (000000)	-

Step 2: Group Bits into Bytes

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

01110011 01100001 01110000 01110000 01101000 01101001 01110010 01100101 00

Step 3: Convert Binary to ASCII

Binary Value	ASCII Character
01110011	s
01100001	a
01110000	p
01110000	p
01101000	h
01101001	i
01110010	r
01100101	e
00

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