What does it mean word for word?

The term is composed of notación, meaning notation and desarrollada, meaning developed or expanded.

Which one should you use?

You may encounter Notación expandida or Representación expandida in formal contexts. For more informal descriptions, you can use Números escritos de forma desglosada or Descomposición numérica.

How does it change in a sentence?

Because notación is a feminine noun, the accompanying adjective must take the feminine form desarrollada instead of the masculine desarrollado.
