Use the Rational Roots Test. If a polynomial function has a rational zero, it will be of the form 
where 
is a factor of the constant term and 
is a factor of the lead coefficient.
Using the Rational Roots Test, create your list of possible zeros. Counting both positive and negative possibilities you have 39 possible rational zeros for your polynomial.
Then start testing them using Synthetic Division. I'll save you a little work: once you have found three real zeros, you have found them all. The other two zeros are complex.
If you need a refresher on Synthetic Division, look here:

Note that there are 4 pages; read them all.
