Decoding Process: eWFjaHQ= to yacht

About the '=' Padding

The '=' at the end of "eWFjaHQ=" 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
e	011110	30
W	010110	22
F	000101	5
j	100011	35
a	011010	26
H	000111	7
Q	010000	16
=	padding (000000)	-

Step 2: Group Bits into Bytes

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

01111001 01100001 01100011 01101000 01110100 00

Step 3: Convert Binary to ASCII

Binary Value	ASCII Character
01111001	y
01100001	a
01100011	c
01101000	h
01110100	t
00

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