Lemma 51.17.4. Let (A, \mathfrak m) be a local ring. If \mathfrak m = (x_1, \ldots , x_ r) and x_1^{e_1}, \ldots , x_ r^{e_ r} are independent for some e_ i > 0, then \text{length}_ A(A/(x_1^{e_1}, \ldots , x_ r^{e_ r})) = e_1\ldots e_ r.
See [Lech-inequalities] and [Lemma 3 page 300, MatCA].
Proof. Use Lemmas 51.17.2 and 51.17.3 and induction. \square
