Algebra, chapter VII, § 4. Finitely generated modules over a principal ideal domain

— In the notation of Prop. 2, if an≠Aa_n \neq A, and if EE is also isomorphic to the direct sum of mm cyclic modules A/aj′A / a'_j with a1′⊂a2′⊂…⊂am′≠Aa'_1 \subset a'_2 \subset \ldots \subset a'_m \neq A, then m=nm = n and ak=ak′a_k = a'_k for 1≤k≤n1 \leq k \leq n (uniqueness of the ak∗a_k *).

Bourbaki puts the proof directly after the statement, so what is above is the statement and its proof together.
