You mention simplify and expand - which probably means that you are in
fact *not* working in the quotient field of a polynomial ring, because
simplify and expand are typical methods of symbolic expressions.

Could you tell us the result of f.parent()?

If f.parent() is a quotient field, then methods like  f.numerator()
and f.denominator() will provide you with the polynomials a and b you
were looking for.

Cheers,
Simon
