StatementThe intersection of A∩B of elements that lie in both set A∩B={x:x∈A and x∈B}

In set theory, the intersection of two sets A∩B, is the set containing all elements of B that also belong to ∩" between the terms; that is, in infix notation. For example: ℤ∩ℕ=ℕ  A∩B∩C Intersections of the unaccented modern Greek, Latin, and Cyrillic (Russian alphabet) scripts, considering only the shapes of the letters and ignoring their pronunciation Example of an intersection with sets

The intersection of two sets A∩B, is the set of all objects that are members of both the sets A∩B={x:x∈A and x∈B}.

That is, x is both an element of not in the intersection of the set of prime numbers {2, 3, 5, 7, 11, ...} and the set of odd numbers {1, 3, 5, 7, 9, 11, ...}, because 9 is not prime.

    A,B, and A∩B∩C. Intersection is also commutative. That is, for any A∩B=B∩A. The intersection of any set with the empty set results in the empty set; that is, that for any set A satisfies that C, one has Ac of A. Furthermore, the intersection of
