Absolute Value. Introduction. The absolute value of a number is its value, or magnitude, without respect to sign. It's the amount you are working with expressed as a positive number, ignoring any negative sign. Or, it's the number's distance from 0 on a number line. For example, the number 9 is 9 units away from 0. Therefore its absolute value is 9. The number -9 is the same distance from zero, so its absolute value is also just 9. In both cases the magnitude, or absolute value, of your number is just plain old 9 because you've removed any negative sign that might have existed.
