For a real number a, the non-negative one of a or its sign-negated equivalent, -a, is called the absolute value of a and is expressed as |a|. In other words, |a| is a itself when a is positive, -a when a is negative, and 0 when a is 0. When considered on a number line, the absolute value of a represents the distance between the origin 0 and point a. The following relationship exists between the calculation and absolute value of two real numbers a and b. First, for multiplication and division, the absolute value of the product or quotient of two numbers is equal to the product or quotient of the absolute values, respectively.

実数aに対して、aまたはその符号を変えた-aのうち、負でないほうを、aの絶対値といい、|a|のように表す。つまり、|a|は、aが正のときはa自身、aが負のときは-a、aが0のときは0である。数直線上で考えるときは、aの絶対値は原点0と点aとの距離を表す。 二つの実数a、bの計算と絶対値の間には次の関係がある。まず、乗法・除法については二つの積・商の絶対値は、それぞれ絶対値の積・商に等しい。
