About the '=' Padding

Base64 encoding requires the input length (in bytes) to be divisible by 3. If it's not, padding is added: One '=' character is added when the input length modulo 3 equals 2. This ensures the encoded output is properly aligned.

Step 1: Map ASCII Characters to Binary

ASCII Character	Binary Value
b	01100010
e	01100101
a	01100001
r	01110010
s	01110011

Step 2: Group Bits into 6-bit Chunks

The binary string is grouped into 6-bit chunks for Base64 encoding:

011000 100110 010101 100001 011100 100111 0011

Step 3: Convert Binary to Base64

Binary Value	Base64 Character
011000	Y
100110	m
010101	V
100001	h
011100	c
100111	n
0011	M

When combined, these characters form the encoded string: "YmVhcnM="
