Let P,Q∈Z[X1​,…,Xk​] have degree at most nj​ in Xj​. Then
H(Q(α1​,…,αk​)P(α1​,…,αk​)​)≤max{L(P),L(Q)}∏j=1k​H(αj​)nj​

whenever the quotient is defined. At each non-Archimedean place, the integral coefficients contribute at most one; at the Archimedean places, the triangle inequality contributes the polynomial length. Multiplying these local estimates and using the product formula gives the claim.
