Macbook pro

I am guessing you do not have a standard English layout keyboard. Perhaps an international layout? There are many. Here the forward slash is shift + 7.

Please note however the output of these keys can be changed in System Preferences / Keyboard / Input sources.

What does your KB look like?

This does not show a Canadian-English KB

i cannot find the forward slash

The line above the spacebar, last key on the right ..... next to the shift key if you are using the US / UK keyboard layout on the Mac.

Not sure which language keyboard you use. German for example is shift 7. Thus on top of the seven for the forward slash. Reverse slash is almost the same, but you have to use the alt shift 7

Canadian English is a selection in System Preferences / Keyboard / Input sources. (It is the setup I have on my computers.)

The physical layout on Macs sold in Canada is either the standard QWERTY keyboard, or the French keyboard.

It's actually Canadian French, which also happens to be qwerty. On that one, the / is at the Option level of bottom right corner key.

It is the key to the left of the numeral 1. (The far left on the second row of keys.)

But you have to switch to Canadian French keyboard to get the key to work.

I have just tested it on my (identical) keyboard.

No, yours is correct, the ISO version with the extra key next to Z which is sold in Canada. My location was for the US ANSI keyboard which is missing that key and puts / somewhere else.

If you want the output to match what is printed on the keys, you need to go to system prefs/keyboard/input sources and add Canadian French and remove Canadian English or whatever else is there.

Here is the French-Canadian KB from

How to identify keyboard localizations - Apple Support

I have an Apple Mac keyboard and the revers slash \ is in the same place as a PC KB. That is the right side of the top row of alphabetic keys.
