Decoding Process: cGh5c2lvbG9neQ== to physiology

About the '=' Padding

The '=' at the end of "cGh5c2lvbG9neQ==" 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
h	100001	33
5	111001	57
c	011100	28
2	110110	54
l	100101	37
v	101111	47
b	011011	27
G	000110	6
9	111101	61
n	100111	39
e	011110	30
Q	010000	16
=	padding (000000)	-
=	padding (000000)	-

Step 2: Group Bits into Bytes

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

01110000 01101000 01111001 01110011 01101001 01101111 01101100 01101111 01100111 01111001 0000

Step 3: Convert Binary to ASCII

Binary Value	ASCII Character
01110000	p
01101000	h
01111001	y
01110011	s
01101001	i
01101111	o
01101100	l
01101111	o
01100111	g
01111001	y
0000

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