Lemma 10.39.2. Let R be a ring. Let I, J \subset R be ideals. Let M be a flat R-module. Then IM \cap JM = (I \cap J)M.
Proof. Consider the exact sequence 0 \to I \cap J \to R \to R/I \oplus R/J. Tensoring with the flat module M we obtain an exact sequence
0 \to (I \cap J) \otimes _ R M \to M \to M/IM \oplus M/JM
Since the kernel of M \to M/IM \oplus M/JM is equal to IM \cap JM we conclude. \square
