i would prefer to use the f-string formatting which is much easyer to understand: dividend = int(input('Enter your dividend = ')) divisor = int(input('Enter your divisor =')) print(f'{dividend} / {divisor} = {dividend / divisor:.4}') The only thing that has to be explained is {dividend / divisor:.4}') :.4 is a formatting of the output of decimals

Well, it's pretty unclear what you tried to do with all those backslashes... I suppose it should be something like this: print("{} / {} = {}".format(dividend, divisor, dividend / divisor))

'\' is an escape character, if you want to display a backslash you have type it twice. However division uses '/'. Try: print("{0} \\ {1} =".format(dividend, divisor)) Example: dividend = 10 divisor = 5 result = dividend/divisor print("{0}\\{1} = {2}".format(dividend, divisor, result)) Outputs: 10\5 = 2.0
