Let me show you by example...let's say we wish to find roots/zeroes of

\n" ); document.write( "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
\n" ); document.write( "±1/1, ±1/2, ±1/3, ±1/6, ±3/1, and ±3/2. All the others are redundant. \n" ); document.write( "
