Lemma 10.59.9. Let R be a Noetherian local ring. Let I \subset R be an ideal of definition. Let M be a finite R-module which does not have finite length. If M' \subset M is a submodule with finite colength, then \chi _{I, M} - \chi _{I, M'} is a polynomial of degree < degree of either polynomial.
Proof. Follows from Lemma 10.59.2 by elementary calculus. \square
