Decoding Process: cGFydGljdWxhdGU= to particulate

About the '=' Padding

The '=' at the end of "cGFydGljdWxhdGU=" 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
d	011101	29
G	000110	6
l	100101	37
j	100011	35
d	011101	29
W	010110	22
x	110001	49
h	100001	33
d	011101	29
G	000110	6
U	010100	20
=	padding (000000)	-

Step 2: Group Bits into Bytes

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

01110000 01100001 01110010 01110100 01101001 01100011 01110101 01101100 01100001 01110100 01100101 00

Step 3: Convert Binary to ASCII

Binary Value	ASCII Character
01110000	p
01100001	a
01110010	r
01110100	t
01101001	i
01100011	c
01110101	u
01101100	l
01100001	a
01110100	t
01100101	e
00

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