Definition

Let $f \in \Z \sqbrk X$ be a polynomial with integer coefficients.

Then the content of $f$, denoted $\cont f$, is the greatest common divisor of the coefficients of $f$.


Also denoted as

The content of a polynomial $f$ can be seen in the literature variously denoted as:

$\cont f$ (currently used on $\mathsf{Pr} \infty \mathsf{fWiki}$)
$c_f$
$\left\langle \! \left\langle {f} \right\rangle \! \right\rangle$
