The volume of a general lattice polyhedron P in ℝN can be determined in terms of numbers of lattice points from N − 1 different lattices in P Ehrhart gave a formula for the volume of “polyèdre entier” in even-dimensional spaces involving only N/2 lattices. The aim of this note is to comment on Ehrhart's formula and provide a similar volume formula applicable to lattice polyhedra that are N-dimensional manifolds in ℝN.
