Decoding Process: d2hvbQ== to whom

About the '=' Padding

The '=' at the end of "d2hvbQ==" 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
d	011101	29
2	110110	54
h	100001	33
v	101111	47
b	011011	27
Q	010000	16
=	padding (000000)	-
=	padding (000000)	-

Step 2: Group Bits into Bytes

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

01110111 01101000 01101111 01101101 0000

Step 3: Convert Binary to ASCII

Binary Value	ASCII Character
01110111	w
01101000	h
01101111	o
01101101	m
0000

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