Abstract: Suppose

l a m b d a_{d}

are Selberg's sieve weights and

1 l e w < y l e x

. Graham's estimate on the Barban-Vehov problem shows that

s u m_{1 l e n l e x} (s u m_{d | n} l a m b d a_{d})^{2} = f r a c x l o g (y / w) + O (f r a c x l o g^{2} (y / w))

. We prove an analogue of this estimate for a sum over ideals of an arbitrary number field

k

. Our asymptotic estimate remains the same; the only difference is that the effective error term may depend on arithmetics of

k

. Our innovation involves multiple counting results on ideals instead of integers. Notably, some of the results are nontrivial generalizations. Furthermore, we prove a corollary that leads to a new zero density estimate.
