Decoding Process: cmFkaW9hY3RpdmU= to radioactive

About the '=' Padding

The '=' at the end of "cmFkaW9hY3RpdmU=" 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
m	100110	38
F	000101	5
k	100100	36
a	011010	26
W	010110	22
9	111101	61
h	100001	33
Y	011000	24
3	110111	55
R	010001	17
p	101001	41
d	011101	29
m	100110	38
U	010100	20
=	padding (000000)	-

Step 2: Group Bits into Bytes

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

01110010 01100001 01100100 01101001 01101111 01100001 01100011 01110100 01101001 01110110 01100101 00

Step 3: Convert Binary to ASCII

Binary Value	ASCII Character
01110010	r
01100001	a
01100100	d
01101001	i
01101111	o
01100001	a
01100011	c
01110100	t
01101001	i
01110110	v
01100101	e
00

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