How come that when solve for s and get 1, 19, 5+4j and 5-4j, that 19 is not a pole?

If I have a function s 2 10 s 171 s 4 30 s 3 + 260 s 2 1010 s + 779 and I factor the numerator and denominator and set them equal to zero like so:
s 4 30 s 3 + 260 s 2 1010 s + 779 = 0
s 2 10 s 171 = 0
How come that when I solve for s and get 1, 19, 5+4j and 5-4j, that 19 is not a pole?
Also, when I solve for s to find zeros and get the following solutions: -9 and 19. Why is 19 not a zero here either?

It is
( s + 9 ) ( s 19 ) ( s 1 ) ( s 19 ) ( s 2 10 s + 41 )
the point s = 19 is a hole and there exists a limit. The only pole is s=1.
