Encoding Process: potato to cG90YXRv

Step 1: Map ASCII Characters to Binary

ASCII CharacterBinary Value
p01110000
o01101111
t01110100
a01100001
t01110100
o01101111

Step 2: Group Bits into 6-bit Chunks

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

011100 000110 111101 110100 011000 010111 010001 101111

Step 3: Convert Binary to Base64

Binary ValueBase64 Character
011100c
000110G
1111019
1101000
011000Y
010111X
010001R
101111v

When combined, these characters form the encoded string: "cG90YXRv"
