The different ideal 𝔡_{B/A} is divisible by P^{e_P - 1} for each prime P above a non-zero maximal ideal p of A.

In the tame case, P^{e_P} does not divide the different ideal 𝔡_{B/A}, so the exponent of P in 𝔡_{B/A} is exactly e_P - 1.

In the tame case, the multiplicity of P in the different ideal 𝔡_{B/A} is exactly e_P - 1. This is the local model behind Riemann–Hurwitz.

Combined statement of the two divisibility facts: P^{e_P - 1} divides the different ideal but P^{e_P} does not (in the tame case).
