The Absolute Difference Calculator is a simple and efficient tool that helps you find the non-negative difference between two numbers. The absolute difference tells you how far apart two values are on the number line, regardless of which one is bigger.

The formula used is:

| Number 1 - Number 2 |

This means the result is always positive or zero.

Examples

• Number 1: 10   Number 2: 3
  Result: |10 - 3| = 7


• Number 1: 4   Number 2: 12
  Result: |4 - 12| = 8


• Number 1: -5   Number 2: 2
  Result: |-5 - 2| = 7

Where It’s Useful

• Comparing two values
• Understanding differences in data sets
• Measurement and distance calculations
• School and college math problems
• Everyday numerical comparisons

This calculator provides a fast, accurate, and user-friendly way to determine how much two numbers differ— ideal for students, teachers, and professionals alike.
