Lemma

Let F\mathbb{F} be a field containing field KK. Suppose [F:K]=n[\mathbb{F}:K]=n (i.e. the dimension of F\mathbb{F}, the vector space is nn). Let αF\alpha\in\mathbb{F}, α0\alpha\not=0. Suppose m(x)m(x) is the minimal polynomial of α\alpha. If f(x)K[x]f(x)\in K[x] is s.t. f(α)=0f(\alpha)=0. Then m(x)f(x)m(x)|f(x)in K[x]K[x].
