Decoding Process: c2thdGVib2FyZGluZw== to skateboarding

About the '=' Padding

The '=' at the end of "c2thdGVib2FyZGluZw==" 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
t	101101	45
h	100001	33
d	011101	29
G	000110	6
V	010101	21
i	100010	34
b	011011	27
2	110110	54
F	000101	5
y	110010	50
Z	011001	25
G	000110	6
l	100101	37
u	101110	46
Z	011001	25
w	110000	48
=	padding (000000)	-
=	padding (000000)	-

Step 2: Group Bits into Bytes

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

01110011 01101011 01100001 01110100 01100101 01100010 01101111 01100001 01110010 01100100 01101001 01101110 01100111 0000

Step 3: Convert Binary to ASCII

Binary Value	ASCII Character
01110011	s
01101011	k
01100001	a
01110100	t
01100101	e
01100010	b
01101111	o
01100001	a
01110010	r
01100100	d
01101001	i
01101110	n
01100111	g
0000

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