Expanded form shows how each digit represents the value of the place it holds in the number.

In your example, 516,721, there is a 5 in the 100,000s place, a 1 in the 10,000s place, a 6 in the 1,000s place and so on. Writing this number in expanded form gives us this:

(5 x 100,000) + (1 x 10,000) + (6 x 1,00) + (7 x 100) + (2 x 10) + ( 1 x 1)
