Abstract
It is well known that a polynomial of given degree factors into at most factors in for any prime . We prove in this paper the existence of infinitely many primes so that the given polynomial (X) splits into exactly linear factors in by using only elementary results in field theory and some elementary number theory by proving that splits in iff has a root in for all sufficiently large primes , where is any polynomial such that has a root for which is the splitting field of over . Furthermore, we prove that any such splits in iff it has a root in , for all sufficiently large primes . Existence of infinitely many such for any given is also proven.
