Frequently asked questions
Does the absolute value calculator work with decimals and fractions, not just integers? Yes, it accepts any real number, including decimals and negative fractions, and returns the non-negative distance from zero.
What's the difference between absolute value and just removing the minus sign? For a single number they give the same result, but absolute value is defined as distance from zero, which is why |0| = 0 and why it always applies even to expressions that evaluate to a negative result.
