By the Fundamental theorem of finitely generated abelian groups,with finite. If a nonzero element has a nonzero component in , projection to separates it. Otherwise some integer coordinate is a nonzero ; choose a prime not dividing and reduce that coordinate modulo . This gives a finite quotient in which the element survives, so every finitely generated abelian group is residually finite.
