Decimal expansion refers to expressing a number in its decimal form by dividing it into parts based on powers of ten. It includes whole numbers and fractions written after a decimal point. For example 3.14 represents three units one-tenth and four-hundredths. It helps represent numbers precisely and is useful in calculations involving parts of a whole.
