Various answers to this question are possible.
The mean absolute deviation (MAD) is a measure of the dispersion or spread of a sample or a population. So one of its purposes is as a measure.
As such it's an alternative to the standard deviation that is said to be more robust in the sense that the sample MAD can be used to provide more accurate estimates of the population dispersion because it is less sensitive to outliers.
Beyond this, some distributions that have no standard deviations do have MADs; for example, the Cauchy. This means that the dispersions of virtually all distributions can be compared in terms of their MADs.

What is the mean absolute deviation of 8590687579?
None.The mean of a single number is itself.Therefore deviation from the mean = 0Therefore absolute deviation = 0Therefore mean absolute deviation = 0None.The mean of a single number is itself.Therefore deviation from the mean = 0Therefore absolute deviation = 0Therefore mean absolute deviation = 0None.The mean of a single number is itself.Therefore deviation from the mean = 0Therefore absolute deviation = 0Therefore mean absolute deviation = 0None.The mean of a single number is itself.Therefore deviation from the mean = 0Therefore absolute deviation = 0Therefore mean absolute deviation = 0

interquartile range or mean absolute deviation.
How is standard deviation different from mean absolute decation?
If I have understood the question correctly, despite your challenging spelling, the standard deviation is the square root of the average of the squared deviations while the mean absolute deviation is the average of the deviation. One consequence of this difference is that a large deviation affects the standard deviation more than it affects the mean absolute deviation.
