Factoring I found that there are two fields one is in the form F(a) {a + bi| a,b contained in Z_3} the other is (x - B)(x^3+x^2B-x+xB^2-B+B^3) which I got from long division.

Can any explain to me how to find a splitting field? All of this above doesn't seem to be leading to that. -Herr- ---
Any ideas?
