abstract algebra - Explicit construction of a finite field with $8$ elements


Give an explicit contruction of the finite field $K$ containing $8$ elements, as a quotient of an appropriate polynomial ring. Include the multiplication table of the group $K^{*}=K\setminus \{0\},$ and write $K^{*}=\langle \alpha \rangle$ for some $\alpha \in K.$




I have no idea how to approach this problem. Can anyone guide me in the right direction? Thanks.
