How to insert For All (∀) symbol in LaTeX?

In LaTeX, you can use the \forall command to insert the “for all” (∀) symbol into your document. Here’s a simple guide on how to do it.

Within the math mode delimiters, simply type \forall to produce the “for all” (∀) symbol. For example

\documentclass{article}

\begin{document}

An example equation using the ``for all" $\forall$ symbol.

\end{document}

Output

Let’s check another example:

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{amsmath, amssymb}

\begin{document}

An example equation using the ``for all" symbol:
\begin{equation}
    \forall x \in \mathbb{R}: f(x) > 0
\end{equation}

\end{document}

Output

What does “for all (∀) symbol” mean in mathematics?

In mathematics, the symbol “∀” represents the universal quantifier “for all” or “for every.” It expresses that a particular statement is true for every element in a given set or domain. The symbol is read as “for all” or “for every.”

\documentclass{article}

\begin{document}

Here is an example: Let \(P(x)\) be the statement ``x is a positive integer." Then, \(\forall x \, P(x)\) would be read as ``for all \(x\), \(x\) is a positive integer," indicating that every element \(x\) in the set is a positive integer.

\end{document}

Output
