p is a factor of the constant, q is a factor of the leading coefficient. The list of all p/q is the list of all POSSIBLE RATIONAL ROOTS.

Testing using synthetic division to find a zero

• Find all of the p’s

• Find all of the q’s

• Make a list of p/q

• Use synthetic division to determine if the number tested is a zero (if you get 0 for a remainder, you have a root)
