Primitive models preserve the equation's degree and homogeneous grading, and integer content removal does not increase coefficient height.
If a nonzero integer polynomial factors as f = C c * g with c ≠ 0, then g has the
same total degree as f.
If f = C c * g with a nonzero integer c, then every coefficient of g is at most the
corresponding coefficient of f in absolute value.
Every nonzero rational multivariate polynomial has a primitive integer model differing by a nonzero rational scalar.
An integer polynomial g whose image over ℚ is a nonzero rational multiple C a * f of
a nonzero polynomial f has the same total degree as f.
If the image over ℚ of an integer polynomial g is C a * f for a homogeneous
polynomial f of degree d, then g is homogeneous of degree d.
If the image over ℚ of an integer polynomial g is C a * f with a ≠ 0, then g and
f have the same rational zeros.
