On isomorphism of a field of fractions

40 Views Asked by At

Let $F$ be a field, $\alpha \notin F$, and denote $F(\alpha)$ as a field of fractions that contain $F$ and $\alpha$. Is it true that $\frac{F({\alpha})}{(\alpha)}$ is isomorphic to $F$?

If $F(\alpha)$ is a field, then $(\alpha)=F(\alpha)$ (since $\alpha\neq0$, it is invertible), and the quotient has just a single element.
