By "Pantone Color," you must be referring to Pantone Solid or Pantone Spot Color, because Pantone is the brand of a private company that sets the international standard for print colors. "Pantone" does not indicate that something is not CMYK.The mentioned company, Pantone, produces a swatch book called Pantone Bridge, and has the spot color on one column, and the CMYK process color on the other column so that you can see the color shift between solid and CMYK, as well as the CMYK breakdown. These swatch books are available online or in a local graphics supply store.
This is a complicated process. To begin, TPX in Pantone stands for Textile Paper Extended. These colors are meant for printing on fabric. When one has a CMYK image in Photoshop the colors can not just be converted. The only way to incorporate spot color (Pantone) into a rasterized CMYK image is as an extra plate, or spot color channel in Photoshop. One can also create a monotone, duotone or tritone from a CMYK image. To do this the image can not remain in CMYK mode. The process is much easier to do in a vector file. Using the eye dropper or color picker tool in Photoshop one can measure the amount of cyan, magenta, yellow and black in a specific area. Using the swatches palette open the appropriate Pantone library, find the desired color and measure the CMYK content in the same manner. This process will reveal the CMYK equivalent for that specific color.
Pantone has limited the free online sites but you might be able to find some look-up tables somewhere. The conversion is not a simple mathematical transformation (as is RGB to HSV).
Pantone Inc. is an American company with its headquarters in New Jersey. They developed the Pantone Matching System which is widely used in printing and manufacturing. One can find a list of Pantone colors at the website California Printed.

The range is the distance from the smallest value to the largest value. This is equivalent to the largest value MINUS the smallest value. Therefore you subtract.
Pantone bills itself as the 'market leader in color'. At the website one may find custom color services, color evaluation tools, books on color, graphics and flash drives.
Color names are very subjective, thus the reason for the Pantone color matching system. The best way to find the color you want is to actually look at a Pantone swatch book. Colors can appear different depending on the monitor they are displayed on. It is always best to pick a color from a printed swatch book, this guarantees that you get the color you want.
You really can't, because the two color books come from different places. About the best you can do is to set your RAL book next to your Pantone book and try to find a similar-enough color in the Pantone book.
The absolute value of a number is the positive (or non-negative) value of the number. The absolute value of 0 or a positive number is the number itself. The absolute value of a negative number is its positive equivalent.
