unique factorisation of non-zero fractional ideals in a Dedekind domain

41 Views Asked by At

I'm reading about Dedekind domains from Serre's book, and on Pg. 12, before stating Proposition 7, there are arguments for the proof, which read as follows:

If one considers the ideal $a_1 = \displaystyle\prod_{p} p^{\nu_p(a)}$ and the ideal $a_2$ of those $x$ such that $\nu_p(x) \geq \nu_p(a)$ for all $p$, prime ideals in a Dedekind domain A, then the three ideals $a, a_1, a_2$ are equal locally (i.e, they have same images in all $A_p$). Here, $a$ is an arbitrary fractional ideal of $A$.

I don't understand how $a, a_1, a_2$ are equal locally. Please help me to understand.
