Let K be complete for a discrete valuation v. If f∈OK​[X] and
v(f(a))>2v(f′(a)),
(1)
then Newton iteration over a valued field converges to a root α∈OK​ with v(α−a)>v(f′(a)).

Strong form of Hensel lemma
Starting from a0​, Newton iteration sets an+1​=an​−f(an​)/f′(an​). Under the strong form of Hensel lemma inequality, the correction valuations grow at least geometrically, so (an​) is a Cauchy sequence converging to a root.
