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
s	01110011
i	01101001
l	01101100
e	01100101
n	01101110
t	01110100
l	01101100
y	01111001

Step 2: Group Bits into 6-bit Chunks

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

011100 110110 100101 101100 011001 010110 111001 110100 011011 000111 1001

Step 3: Convert Binary to Base64

Binary Value	Base64 Character
011100	c
110110	2
100101	l
101100	s
011001	Z
010110	W
111001	5
110100	0
011011	b
000111	H
1001	k

When combined, these characters form the encoded string: "c2lsZW50bHk="
