Proof.
We may assume that our lattice polyhedron is a simplex, since otherwise we can triangulate it to smaller polyhedra. Fix one of its vertex and consider the integer vectors connecting it to other vertices. The volume of the simplex is equal to the determinant of the sublattice generated by these vectors divided by . ∎
