Decoding Process: cG9zdHBvc3RlZA== to postposted

About the '=' Padding

The '=' at the end of "cG9zdHBvc3RlZA==" 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
G	000110	6
9	111101	61
z	110011	51
d	011101	29
H	000111	7
B	000001	1
v	101111	47
c	011100	28
3	110111	55
R	010001	17
l	100101	37
Z	011001	25
A	000000	0
=	padding (000000)	-
=	padding (000000)	-

Step 2: Group Bits into Bytes

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

01110000 01101111 01110011 01110100 01110000 01101111 01110011 01110100 01100101 01100100 0000

Step 3: Convert Binary to ASCII

Binary Value	ASCII Character
01110000	p
01101111	o
01110011	s
01110100	t
01110000	p
01101111	o
01110011	s
01110100	t
01100101	e
01100100	d
0000

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