Decoding Process: cHJlc2NyaWJpbmc= to prescribing

About the '=' Padding

The '=' at the end of "cHJlc2NyaWJpbmc=" 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
H	000111	7
J	001001	9
l	100101	37
c	011100	28
2	110110	54
N	001101	13
y	110010	50
a	011010	26
W	010110	22
J	001001	9
p	101001	41
b	011011	27
m	100110	38
c	011100	28
=	padding (000000)	-

Step 2: Group Bits into Bytes

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

01110000 01110010 01100101 01110011 01100011 01110010 01101001 01100010 01101001 01101110 01100111 00

Step 3: Convert Binary to ASCII

Binary Value	ASCII Character
01110000	p
01110010	r
01100101	e
01110011	s
01100011	c
01110010	r
01101001	i
01100010	b
01101001	i
01101110	n
01100111	g
00

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