Statement
Suppose is a group and are all completely divisibility-closed subgroups of . Then, the intersection of subgroups is also completely divisibility-closed.
Here, a subgroup is completely divisibility-closed if for any prime number such that every element of the group has a root in the group, all roots of any element in the subgroup are in the subgroup.

Proof
Given: A group , completely divisibility-closed subgroups of . A prime number such that is -divisible. An element . An element such that .
To prove:
Proof: It suffices to demonstrate the last sentence, because the existence of roots in is guaranteed by being -divisible.
