The absolute value of a number is the value disregarding the algebraic sign (whether it is positive or negative). For example, the absolute value of 6 is 6, and the absolute value of -6 is also 6. By definition, the absolute value of any real number is not less than zero.

- The absolute value of a number is its magnitude or distance from the origin. Absolute value is defined in real numbers and in complex numbers. The definition may also be extended to vectors, where absolute value is often times called "magnitude". The absolute value signs are also used in set theory to indicate a cardinality, or set size. The operation measures the magnitude of a set, or in other words, the operation counts the number of elements a set contains.
