Out of the following integers, -10 has the greatest absolute value. That is because the absolute value of -10 is 10 which is greater than the absolute value of the other 3 integers. For example, the absolute value of -8 is 8 which is less than 10. The absolute value of -4, which is 4, is still less than 10. The absolute value of 8 is 8 which is also less than 10.

First lets find the absolute value of each of these numbers. The absolute value is ALWAYS positive. Lets do it:-

|-10| = 10
|-8| = 8
|-4| = 4
|8| = 8

So the greatest number of these all is 10, so 10 is the greatest number in this set of integers by the absolute value.

Hope I helped ya!!
