Hello Ralf,

thank you for your answer, it seems to work now!

But what I was trying to achieve, and I'm sorry for not making myself
clear, was to find 2 polynomials such that the resultant between them was a
prime number.

It makes a lot of sense to need a Symbol to evaluate the resultant, but I
didn't quite thought of it because sometimes, the input that I send does
work. It was quite confusing for me.

Anyway, thanks again!

Best regards,
