By the allowed finite multiplicative-
subgroup
theorem
, the
group
K
×
is cyclic. Let
z
generate it. Every nonzero element of
K
is
a
power
of
z
, hence belongs to
F
(
z
)
; zero belongs
as
well. Since the reverse inclusion is automatic,
K
=
F
(
z
)
.

Thus
a
finite extension of
a
finite field
is
a
simple field extension
.
