The fundamental theorem of algebra is a fact about the diagram which relates polynomials via division by monomials.
Every polynomial of degree n is n divisions of a monomial away from the empty product.

This is probably easier to see the other direction:
Polynomials of degree n are isomorphic to n-products of monomials, and you can build a graph of the assembly where each arrow represents a multiplication by a particular monomial. (Then reverse the arrows, to get my original diagram.)
