The multiplicity theory initiated by C. Chevalley was the one with respect to ideals generated by a system of parameters of a local ring containing a field [3] and [4]. Samuel generalized the definition to primary ideals belonging the maximal ideal of a local ring which contains a field by a device which used the Hilbert characteristic function [9]. Furthermore Samuel defined multiplicity also in local rings which contain no field [10].

This paper establishes a formula changing the ring from a Noetherian local ring A of dimension d > 0 containing the residue field k to the polynomial ring in d variables k[X₁, X₂, …, X_d] for mixed multiplicities. And as consequences, we get a formula for the multiplicity of Rees rings and formulas for mixed multiplicities and the multiplicity of Rees rings of quotient rings of A by highest dimensional associated prime ideals of A.
