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
e	01100101
l	01101100
b	01100010
o	01101111
w	01110111

Step 2: Group Bits into 6-bit Chunks

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

011001 010110 110001 100010 011011 110111 0111

Step 3: Convert Binary to Base64

Binary Value	Base64 Character
011001	Z
010110	W
110001	x
100010	i
011011	b
110111	3
0111	c

When combined, these characters form the encoded string: "ZWxib3c="
