May 9, 2014 at 12:36 comment added user19475 If $f(x_i) \equiv 0 \pmod{p_i}$ for finitely many $(p_i)_{i=1}^n$, $f(k\cdot\prod_{i=1}^np_i)$ cannot be divisible by any of the $p_i$.
May 8, 2014 at 14:14 comment added user50519 I didn't understand. Could you be a little more clear, please?
May 8, 2014 at 13:51 comment added user19475 Reduce to $f$ having constant coefficient $1$ and consider $k\prod_{i=1}^np_i$.
May 8, 2014 at 13:20 comment added user50553 Might you give me some lights for such an elementary argument? I can find one for proving the existence of infintely many primes $p\equiv_{4}3$ dividing some $x^4-2$, but I can't find one for primes $p\equiv_{4}1$.
