SOLUTION: When you are trying to find all of the possible rational zeros, I think you are supposed to use +/- p/q. But how do you find p/q, and is that what you are supposed to use?

Let me show you by example...let's say we wish to find roots/zeroes of
6x^3 - 8x^2 + 5x - 3 = 0
We know our roots must be � p/q where p are the factors of -3 and q are the factors of 6, so that our possible roots are
�1/1, �1/2, �1/3, �1/6, �3/1, and �3/2. All the others are redundant.
