    $\begingroup$ Why dou you think just about this Extension -> {Sqrt[2], Sqrt[3], Sqrt[5], Sqrt[6], Sqrt[11]} ? When you have extended the field of the rationals by Sqrt[2], Sqrt[3] you don't have to extend it as well by Sqrt[6] since there is just Sqrt[6], try e.g. Factor[-6 + x^2, Extension -> {Sqrt[2], Sqrt[3]}]. $\endgroup$ Commented Jan 25, 2013 at 12:57
