Splitting fields over number fields are number fields #

The splitting field f.SplittingField of a polynomial f over a number field K is a finite extension of K, hence a number field. In particular the splitting field of a rational polynomial is a number field, so its Galois group f.Gal is the Galois group of a number field and the arithmetic of 𝓞 f.SplittingField (primes, Frobenius elements) is available in it directly.
