for better understanding vs for a better understanding

Both phrases are correct, but they are used in slightly different contexts. 'For better understanding' is more concise and direct; it is suitable for informal or concise writing. 'For a better understanding' includes the article 'a' before 'better understanding,' making it more suitable for formal writing.
