Proof. Suppose that for each $p$ the inverse system $(K_ n^ p)$ is right acyclic for $\mathop{\mathrm{lim}}\nolimits$. By Lemma 15.86.1 this gives a short exact sequence

for each $p$. Since the complex consisting of $\mathop{\mathrm{lim}}\nolimits _ n K^ p_ n$ computes $R\mathop{\mathrm{lim}}\nolimits K$ by Lemma 15.86.1 we see that the lemma holds in this case.

Next, assume $K = (K_ n^\bullet )$ is general. By Lemma 15.86.1 there is a quasi-isomorphism $K \to L$ in $D(\textit{Ab}(\mathbf{N}))$ such that $(L_ n^ p)$ is acyclic for each $p$. Then $\prod K_ n^\bullet$ is quasi-isomorphic to $\prod L_ n^\bullet$ as products are exact in $\textit{Ab}$, whence the result for $L$ (proved above) implies the result for $K$. $\square$
