Using a probabilistic approach we establish a new residual property of free products of finite groups.

We find a necessary and sufficient condition for an amalgamated free product of arbitrarily many isomorphic residually \(p\)-finite groups to be residually \(p\)-finite. We also prove that this condition is sufficient for a free product of any finite number of residually \(p\)-finite groups, amalgam
We prove that a free product of infinitely many finitely generated, torsion free, nilpotent groups amalgamating isolated cycles is residually finite-p for all primes p so long as the number of generators and nilpotency class of the factors are both bounded. Examples illustrate that if we remove any
