Clearing denominators relative to an independent module subset ($0\ne r\in R,rM\subseteq ⟨T⟩$)

Let a finitely generated module over an integral domain have a finite generating set $S$ and a maximal independent subset $T$. For each $s\notin T$, dependence of $T\cup \{s\}$ gives a nonzero coefficient $a_s$ with $a_{s}s\in ⟨T⟩$. The product of those coefficients is nonzero and carries the whole module into $⟨T⟩$.
