Decoding Process: cGV0ZXJzYnVyZw== to petersburg

About the '=' Padding

The '=' at the end of "cGV0ZXJzYnVyZw==" 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
V	010101	21
0	110100	52
Z	011001	25
X	010111	23
J	001001	9
z	110011	51
Y	011000	24
n	100111	39
V	010101	21
y	110010	50
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):

01110000 01100101 01110100 01100101 01110010 01110011 01100010 01110101 01110010 01100111 0000

Step 3: Convert Binary to ASCII

Binary Value	ASCII Character
01110000	p
01100101	e
01110100	t
01100101	e
01110010	r
01110011	s
01100010	b
01110101	u
01110010	r
01100111	g
0000

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