If is a zero of a polynomial function, then is a factor of the polynomial. If is a zero of a polynomial function with rational coefficients, then its conjugate, is also a zero of the polynomial.

Your problem is written ambiguously. Are the given zeros 16, 8, and or is 16 the problem number? I can't help you unless you are clear about what you write.
