The absolute value of - 4 5/6 is 4 5/6.
Absolute value of -5 is 5.
There are two integers +5 and -5
So the absolute value of a number is simply the positive value of a given number. (In our basic number system each number has both a positive and negative value such as -6 and 6). If you are dealing with basic numbers, simply drop the negative sign if there is one, or leave the number as is if there isn't, and you have the absolute value. |x| means the absolute value So |-6| = 6 and |5| = 5 So while -6 is less than 5, |6| (absolute value of -6) is larger than 5 :)
Absolute value means disregarding the negative sign if it exists. So 5, +5, -5 all have the absolute value of 5.
