From this one can see that inductively we can continue applying this formula to get a product of spaces (each being a loop space of a sphere), of which only finitely many will have a non-trivial third homotopy group. Those factors are:

i.e. the direct-sum of a free abelian group of rank two with the abelian 2-torsion group with 8 elements.

of a wedge of spaces can be written as an infinite product of loop spaces of suspensions of

One version of the Hilton-Milnor theorem states that there is a homotopy-equivalence
62: 44: 799: 28: 860: 263:. To put this space in the language of the above formula, we are interested in 844: 840: 589:{\displaystyle \Omega S^{2},\Omega S^{2},\Omega S^{3},\Omega S^{4},\Omega S^{4}} 50: 817: 36: 825: 893: 901: 215:
Here the capital sigma indicates the suspension of a pointed space.
