157 Coprime factorisation algorithm

and

G(s)=M(s)N(s)=M~(1/(1+s))N~(1/(1+s))=P(s)Q(s).

We have shown that 𝐂(x) is the field generated by 𝒮.

Algorithm

1) Write G as a quotient of polynomials with no common zeros.

2) Introduce λ and clear the denominators.

3) Apply the Euclidean algorithm for polynomials.

4) Convert back to the original variables.
