syntaxerror: unexpected character after line continuation character math

Question

I am having problems with this Python program I am creating to do maths, working out and so solutions but I'm getting the syntax error: "unexpected character after line continuation character in python"

this is my code

print("Length between sides: "+str((length*length)*2.6)+" \ 1.5 = "+str(((length*length)*2.6)\1.5)+" Units")

My problem is with \1.5 I have tried \1.5 but it doesn't work

Using Python 2.7.2

Answer 1

You are using the wrong operator for the division, the right operator for division is /, not \.
