Decoding Process: cGVybWFuZW50bHk= to permanently

About the '=' Padding

The '=' at the end of "cGVybWFuZW50bHk=" 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
y	110010	50
b	011011	27
W	010110	22
F	000101	5
u	101110	46
Z	011001	25
W	010110	22
5	111001	57
0	110100	52
b	011011	27
H	000111	7
k	100100	36
=	padding (000000)	-

Step 2: Group Bits into Bytes

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

01110000 01100101 01110010 01101101 01100001 01101110 01100101 01101110 01110100 01101100 01111001 00

Step 3: Convert Binary to ASCII

Binary Value	ASCII Character
01110000	p
01100101	e
01110010	r
01101101	m
01100001	a
01101110	n
01100101	e
01101110	n
01110100	t
01101100	l
01111001	y
00

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