Decoding Process: cGFyZW50aGVzZXM= to parentheses

About the '=' Padding

The '=' at the end of "cGFyZW50aGVzZXM=" 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
F	000101	5
y	110010	50
Z	011001	25
W	010110	22
5	111001	57
0	110100	52
a	011010	26
G	000110	6
V	010101	21
z	110011	51
Z	011001	25
X	010111	23
M	001100	12
=	padding (000000)	-

Step 2: Group Bits into Bytes

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

01110000 01100001 01110010 01100101 01101110 01110100 01101000 01100101 01110011 01100101 01110011 00

Step 3: Convert Binary to ASCII

Binary Value	ASCII Character
01110000	p
01100001	a
01110010	r
01100101	e
01101110	n
01110100	t
01101000	h
01100101	e
01110011	s
01100101	e
01110011	s
00

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