We will state some conditions under which if a quotient of a module M satisfies the radical formula of degree k (s.t.r.f of degree k), so does M. Especially, we will introduce some particular modules M′ such that M′ ⊕ M″ s.t.r.f of degree k, when M″ s.t.r.f of degree k. Furthermore, we will show that, under certain conditions, if the completion of a module M s.t.r.f of degree k, then there is a non-negative integer k′ such that M s.t.r.f. of degree k′. Moreover, we state a corrected version of Leung and Man's theorem (K. H. Leung and S. H. Man, On commutative Noetherian rings which satisfy the radical formula, Glasgow Math. J. 39 (1997), 285–293) on Noetherian rings that satisfies the radical formula.
