Resultants and Gröbner bases are crucial tools in studying polynomial elimination theory. We investigate relations between the variety of the resultant of two polynomials and the variety of the ideal they generate. Then we focus on the bivariate case, in which the elimination ideal is principal. We study - by means of elementary tools - the difference between the multiplicity of the factors of the generator of the elimination ideal and the multiplicity of the factors of the resultant.
