Number fields and algebraic integer

147 Views Asked by At

Suppose there is a (algebraic) number field $K$.

Algebraic integer is a root of some monic polynomial with coefficients in $\mathbb{Z}$.

The elements of $K$ are the root of some monic polynomial with coefficients in $\mathbb{Q}$.

As the field is commutative, every monic equation with coefficients in $\mathbb{Q}$ can be converted into monic equation with coefficients in $\mathbb{Z}$ (By multiplying least common multiples of denominators in coefficients.) and have the same roots.

This suggests that every number in $K$ is an algebraic integer.

Is this right understanding? If not, where did I go wrong?
