Mar 7, 2016 at 23:43 comment added wrigley Sure the edited question is true for $h=0$ because the group generated by the non-zero elements of the integers of $K$ is just $K^\times$, so just think about the kernel of $(a,-/n)$. PS you still seem to have a prime ideal generated by a random not-necessarily-prime element.

Mar 7, 2016 at 23:39 comment added wrigley In general $n$ (a random positive integer) doesn't generate a prime ideal. Which ring is this an ideal of anyway? Hensel's Lemma might tell you that if you're sufficiently congruent to 1 mod something then you're an $n$th power anyway so if my understanding of your question is correct then for large enough $h$ no $b$ will exist.
