Decoding Process: c2FyYXRvZ2E= to saratoga

About the '=' Padding

The '=' at the end of "c2FyYXRvZ2E=" 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
y	110010	50
Y	011000	24
X	010111	23
R	010001	17
v	101111	47
Z	011001	25
2	110110	54
E	000100	4
=	padding (000000)	-

Step 2: Group Bits into Bytes

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

01110011 01100001 01110010 01100001 01110100 01101111 01100111 01100001 00

Step 3: Convert Binary to ASCII

Binary Value	ASCII Character
01110011	s
01100001	a
01110010	r
01100001	a
01110100	t
01101111	o
01100111	g
01100001	a
00

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