An Absolute Value Calculator is a tool that computes the absolute value of a given number or mathematical expression.

What is Absolute Value?

The absolute value of a number is its distance from zero on the number line, regardless of direction. It is always non-negative. Mathematically, the absolute value of xx x is written as:

For example:

  • ∣5∣=5
  • ∣−5∣=5
  • ∣0∣=0

Why Use an Absolute Value Calculator?

  • To quickly find absolute values of numbers or expressions.
  • To solve equations involving absolute values.
  • To handle real-world applications, such as distance, magnitude, and error measurements.

How Does It Work?

An absolute value calculator follows these steps:

  1. Takes an input (a number or an expression).
  2. Applies the absolute value function.
  3. Outputs the non-negative result.

For example, if you input -12, the calculator returns 12.

When to Use It?

  • When solving equations like ∣x−3∣=7.
  • In physics for distance calculations.
  • In programming for handling unsigned values.
  • In economics for analyzing deviations.
