It disregards the sign of the number and only provides the distance from zero. This ensures that the result is always a positive value.<\/p>\n<p>Consider the number -5. The absolute value of -5 would be written as |-5|, which equals 5. Taking the absolute value eliminates the negative sign and converts the value to positive. Similarly, the absolute value of 5 is also 5 since it is already positive.<\/p>\n<p>Therefore, <b>an absolute value function retrieves the positive magnitude of a number, disregarding its sign.<\/b><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"FAQs_about_absolute_values\"><\/span>FAQs about absolute values:<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"1_How_is_the_absolute_value_of_a_number_calculated\"><\/span>1.
