Further, for all distinct numbers {{nobr|<math>a \neq b</math>:}}
:<math>\big| \,a \parallel b \,\big| > \tfrac12 \min\bigl(|a|, |b|\bigr),</math>
 
with <math>\big|\, a \parallel b \,\big|</math> representing the [[absolute value]] of <math>a \parallel b</math>, and <math>\min(x, y)</math> meaning the [[Maxima and minima#In relation to sets|minimum]] (least element) among {{mvar|x}} and {{mvar|y}}.
 
If <math>a</math> and <math>b</math> are distinct positive real numbers then <math>\tfrac12 \min(a, b) < \big|\, a \parallel b \,\big| < \min(a, b).</math>
