Error computing the primitive part of a monovariate integer polynomial

Consider the following code:

primitive_part = lambda f : f / f.content()

# Primitive Euclidean Algorithm
def primitive_euclides(f,g):
    r0 = f; r1 = g; 

    assert(f.degree() >= g.degree())

    while r1 != 0:
        print(r1)
        delta = r0.degree() - r1.degree() + 1
        aux = ((r1.leading_coefficient())^delta*r0) % r1
        aux = primitive_part(aux)
        r0, r1 = r1, aux

    return r0 #TODO: normal form

# Example: Z[x]
ZX = PolynomialRing(ZZ, 'x')
f = ZX(x^8+2*x^7+4*x^6-2*x^5-3*x^4+4*x^3+9*x^2-2*x-5)
g = ZX(5*x^5-2*x^4-13*x^3-11*x^2+7*x+6)
r = primitive_euclides(f,g)
print(r)

When I execute this code, I get the following output:

5*x^5 - 2*x^4 - 13*x^3 - 11*x^2 + 7*x + 6
15201*x^4 + 25424*x^3 + 10223*x^2 - 15201*x - 10223

    raise bin_op_exception(op, x, y)
TypeError: unsupported operand parent(s) for /: 'Univariate Polynomial Ring in x over Rational Field' and 'Monoid of ideals of Rational Field'

However, when I try isolating the error as follows:

r0 = ZX(5*x^5 - 2*x^4 - 13*x^3 - 11*x^2 + 7*x + 6)
r1 = ZX(15201*x^4 + 25424*x^3 + 10223*x^2 - 15201*x - 10223)

delta = r0.degree() - r1.degree() + 1
aux = ((r1.leading_coefficient())^delta*r0) % r1
aux = primitive_part(aux)
aux

I get the output I expected, x^3 + x^2 - 1

What is going on? How do I fix this?

If you add some debugging print, you will notice that arent(aux) is first Univariate Polynomial Ring in x over Integer Ring but then Univariate Polynomial Ring in x over Rational Field, because you made a division, and though the resulting coefficient remain integers, they now belong to the rational field, see:

sage: parent(2)
Integer Ring
sage: 4/2
2
sage: parent(4/2)
Rational Field

So what you have to do is to convert the result back into ZX:

sage: primitive_part = lambda f : ZX(f / f.content())

Or, since ZX is the parent of f, you can do more generically:

sage: primitive_part = lambda f : parent(f)(f / f.content())
