Decoding Process: cGl0dHNidXJnaA== to pittsburgh

About the '=' Padding

The '=' at the end of "cGl0dHNidXJnaA==" 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
l	100101	37
0	110100	52
d	011101	29
H	000111	7
N	001101	13
i	100010	34
d	011101	29
X	010111	23
J	001001	9
n	100111	39
a	011010	26
A	000000	0
=	padding (000000)	-
=	padding (000000)	-

Step 2: Group Bits into Bytes

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

01110000 01101001 01110100 01110100 01110011 01100010 01110101 01110010 01100111 01101000 0000

Step 3: Convert Binary to ASCII

Binary Value	ASCII Character
01110000	p
01101001	i
01110100	t
01110100	t
01110011	s
01100010	b
01110101	u
01110010	r
01100111	g
01101000	h
0000

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