Homework Statement
Let f in K[x] be a polynomial over a field K. De fine the notion of a splitting field
L of f over K. Show that if deg f = d, then f has a splitting fi eld over K of degree
dividing d!
The Attempt at a Solution
If f is reducible, then this seems true by induction. I'm not sure about the case where f is irreducible over K though.
Thanks for your help.
