You can find the zeros of an equation defining for what values the factors are equal to zero.
If my factors are (x - 1)(x + 5) the zeros are x = 1, -5
Division help us to factor polynomials because factors are values that multiplied each other give the polynomials so using the opposite operation you can find them.
Usually the degree of a polynomial tell us how many number of zeros we have to find. However it's not always true because sometimes some of the zeros aren't real.
