The possible rational root can be given in the form where a is an integer factor (not necessarily positive) factor of 48, and b is an integer factor of 5. Thus, the possible values for a and b are:

a: +-1, +-2, +-3, +-4, +-6, +-8, +-12, +-16, +-24, +-48
b: +-1, +-5

This leaves exactly 100 possible roots. At most five of them can satisfy p(x) = 0.
