Gilmer and Heinzer proved that given a reduced ring R , a polynomial f divides a monic polynomial in R [ X ] if and only if there exists a direct sum decomposition of R = R 0 ⊕ … ⊕ R m ( m ≤ deg f ), associated to a fundamental system of idempotents e 0 , … , e m , such that the component of f in each R i [ X ] has degree coefficient which is a unit of R i . We propose to give an algorithm to explicitly find such a decomposition. Moreover, we extend this result to divisors of doubly monic Laurent polynomials.
