Decoding Process: dGF4cGF5ZXI= to taxpayer

About the '=' Padding

The '=' at the end of "dGF4cGF5ZXI=" 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
G	000110	6
F	000101	5
4	111000	56
c	011100	28
G	000110	6
F	000101	5
5	111001	57
Z	011001	25
X	010111	23
I	001000	8
=	padding (000000)	-

Step 2: Group Bits into Bytes

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

01110100 01100001 01111000 01110000 01100001 01111001 01100101 01110010 00

Step 3: Convert Binary to ASCII

Binary Value	ASCII Character
01110100	t
01100001	a
01111000	x
01110000	p
01100001	a
01111001	y
01100101	e
01110010	r
00

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