The theory is not aleph-zero-categorical. Introduce a constant and add the formulasEvery finite subset is realized in by taking to be a nonzero common multiple of the finitely many displayed integers. The compactness theorem therefore gives a model of containing a nonzero infinitely divisible element of an abelian group. The Downward Lowenheim-Skolem theorem gives such a model that is countable.
No nonzero integer is divisible by every positive integer, so this countable model is not isomorphic to . This is the nonstandard model of the additive integers obstruction to categoricity.
