Hello,

we know that:
|a|=a \\ |-a|=a

Then refgardless of the sign, the smallest number will have the least absolute value.

Absolute value means the total distance from zero. So you get rid of any negative signs and then look at which number has the lowest value (which is the smallest number without any negative signs).
