⭐Just as the magnitude of an earthquake tells you how big the earthquake is, the magnitude of a mathematical term tells you how big that term is. In math, this means how far away the math term is from zero.
✨For numbers such as 1, 2, 3, and so on, the magnitude is simply the number itself. If the number is negative, the magnitude becomes the absolute value of the number. For example, the magnitude of 10 is 10. The magnitude of -10 becomes the absolute value of -10, which is 10. In both cases, the magnitude is the distance the mathematical term is from zero. Both 10 and -10 are a distance of 10 away from zero.
