About the '=' Padding

Base64 encoding requires the input length (in bytes) to be divisible by 3. If it's not, padding is added: Two '=' characters are added when the input length modulo 3 equals 1. This happens because the input length leaves a remainder of 1 when divided by 3, indicating that two more bytes are needed to complete the 3-byte group. This ensures the encoded output is properly aligned.

Step 1: Map ASCII Characters to Binary

ASCII Character	Binary Value
f	01100110
a	01100001
v	01110110
o	01101111
u	01110101
r	01110010
a	01100001
b	01100010
l	01101100
e	01100101

Step 2: Group Bits into 6-bit Chunks

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

011001 100110 000101 110110 011011 110111 010101 110010 011000 010110 001001 101100 011001 01

Step 3: Convert Binary to Base64

Binary Value	Base64 Character
011001	Z
100110	m
000101	F
110110	2
011011	b
110111	3
010101	V
110010	y
011000	Y
010110	W
001001	J
101100	s
011001	Z
01	Q

When combined, these characters form the encoded string: "ZmF2b3VyYWJsZQ=="
