Decoding Process: cmVjeWNsZWQ= to recycled

About the '=' Padding

The '=' at the end of "cmVjeWNsZWQ=" 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
V	010101	21
j	100011	35
e	011110	30
W	010110	22
N	001101	13
s	101100	44
Z	011001	25
W	010110	22
Q	010000	16
=	padding (000000)	-

Step 2: Group Bits into Bytes

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

01110010 01100101 01100011 01111001 01100011 01101100 01100101 01100100 00

Step 3: Convert Binary to ASCII

Binary Value	ASCII Character
01110010	r
01100101	e
01100011	c
01111001	y
01100011	c
01101100	l
01100101	e
01100100	d
00

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