Existence of polynomials in $mathbb{Q}[x]$ and $mathbb{Z}[x]$ with same splitting fields.

I've been asked to prove the following statement in a Galois Theory Seminar after being introduced to Dedekind's Theorem. (I assume this could potentially help getting the answer.)




Let $f(x)$ be a a monic polynomial of degree $N$ in $mathbb{Q}[x]$ and let $E_f$ be its splitting field over $mathbb{Q}$. Then, there exists a monic polynomial $p(x) in mathbb{Z}[x]$ of degree $N$ that has the same splitting field $E_f$.




I can't find any way to prove it.



Any help is welcome!



EDIT:
There used to be what I though was a counter example that has been answered already.

  • This is not a counter-example. The problem is that you're assuming that $f$ and $p$ have the same roots. This is not necessary in this case since any polynomial with integral coefficients and rational roots has the splitting field of $mathbb{Q}$. So, you could take $p=1$ and get the same splitting field as $f$.

  • You're both right! I was taking $mathbb{Z}$ as its splitting field instead which makes no sense at all. I'll edit the question to the proof only.

    Are you possibly taking the same course as the asker of this question. My comments there settle your question also.

Let $x^n + a_1 x^{n_1}+ cdots + a_n=0$, and write $y=Nx$; then $y^n + a_1 N y^{n_1}+ cdots + a_n N^n =0$. Write $a_j=p_j/q_j$ and $N=prod_j q_j$ and you are done. This is basically Gauss's lemma isn't it?
