Description: The multiplicativity formula for degrees of field extensions. Given E a field extension of F , itself a field extension of K , we have [ E : K ] = [ E : F ] [ F : K ] . Proposition 1.2 of Lang, p. 224. Here ( dimA ) is the degree of the extension E of K , ( dimB ) is the degree of the extension E of F , and ( dimC ) is the degree of the extension F of K . This proof is valid for infinite dimensions, and is actually valid for division ring extensions, not just field extensions. (Contributed by Thierry Arnoux, 25-Jul-2023)
