Decoding Process: cGhhcm1hY2V1dGljYWw= to pharmaceutical

About the '=' Padding

The '=' at the end of "cGhhcm1hY2V1dGljYWw=" 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
h	100001	33
c	011100	28
m	100110	38
1	110101	53
h	100001	33
Y	011000	24
2	110110	54
V	010101	21
1	110101	53
d	011101	29
G	000110	6
l	100101	37
j	100011	35
Y	011000	24
W	010110	22
w	110000	48
=	padding (000000)	-

Step 2: Group Bits into Bytes

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

01110000 01101000 01100001 01110010 01101101 01100001 01100011 01100101 01110101 01110100 01101001 01100011 01100001 01101100 00

Step 3: Convert Binary to ASCII

Binary Value	ASCII Character
01110000	p
01101000	h
01100001	a
01110010	r
01101101	m
01100001	a
01100011	c
01100101	e
01110101	u
01110100	t
01101001	i
01100011	c
01100001	a
01101100	l
00

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