When the second number is positive and has an absolute value that is bigger.
Suppose x is the first number and y the second.
Then x is smaller than y implies that
if x is non-negative then y is larger, and
if x is negative then y is less negative (nearer 0), 0 or positive
In the first case, abs(x) < abs(y), that is 0 <= x < y
In the second case, abs(x) < abs(y) if 0 < -x < y.

Since the number is not negative, the absolute value is also 3.1416
That is because of the way the absolute value is defined. The absolute value of a positive number is positive, the absolute value of a negative number is also positive. The absolute value of zero is zero. Even in the complex numbers, the absolute value is defined in such a way that it is a real and positive number.
positive 402. the absolute value makes any number positive, even if it already is. So the absolute value of -402 is 402. the absolute value of 402 is also 402.
The absolute value of a number is the distance that number is from zero.A more accurate description is to say the absolute value of a number is the value of the number regardless of its "+" or "-" sign, which is also known technically as its "polarity".Further notesThe "value" of any particular number means the quantity or amount of some things which that number represents.Just a few examples of some values are shown in bold below:5 apples for which the absolute value is 5-12 volts for which the absolute value is 121000 houses for which the absolute value is 1000-273 oC for which the absolute value is 2730.1 miles for which the absolute value is 0.1
The absolute value of an integer (or indeed any real number) is its distance from 0 - IGNORING the direction or sign. So, the absolute value of 5 is 5 and the absolute value of -5 is also 5.
