Decoding Process: d2lkZ2V0cw== to widgets

About the '=' Padding

The '=' at the end of "d2lkZ2V0cw==" 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
l	100101	37
k	100100	36
Z	011001	25
2	110110	54
V	010101	21
0	110100	52
c	011100	28
w	110000	48
=	padding (000000)	-
=	padding (000000)	-

Step 2: Group Bits into Bytes

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

01110111 01101001 01100100 01100111 01100101 01110100 01110011 0000

Step 3: Convert Binary to ASCII

Binary Value	ASCII Character
01110111	w
01101001	i
01100100	d
01100111	g
01100101	e
01110100	t
01110011	s
0000

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