A newly discovered planet orbits a distant star with the same mass as the Sun at an average distance of 116 mi?

A newly discovered planet orbits a distant star with the same mass as the Sun at an average distance of 116 million kilometers. Its orbital eccentricity is 0.4. I tried using keplers third law the equation P^2*au^3 and solving for P but the answer came out very funny, please help.
