Let be coprime square-free integers, and . For the biquadratic extension , with and , an integral basis is . To prove spanning, write an algebraic integer as . The field traces to the three quadratic subfields and the ring of integers of a quadratic field formula force . The field norm to has coefficients and . Their integrality gives and . Thus are even and , exactly the asserted integer span. Conversely, the half-sum has , so integral dependence is transitive proves it is an algebraic integer. Rational linear independence is immediate from its nonzero coefficient.
