Absolute Value Calculator: Find the Magnitude of Any Number

Use this powerful tool to calculate the absolute value of any number - positive, negative, whole, or decimal.

What is Absolute Value?

The absolute value represents the distance of a number from zero on a number line, regardless of its sign. It measures the magnitude or size of a number, ignoring whether it's positive or negative.

Key Concept: For any real number x, its absolute value is denoted as |x|.
  • If x ≥ 0, then |x| = x
  • If x < 0, then |x| = -x
Examples:

|5| = 5

5 is 5 units from 0

|-3| = 3

-3 is 3 units from 0

|0| = 0

0 is 0 units from itself
