    The aim of this note is to prove the decidability of the elementary theories of the models \({\mathfrak N}=<{\mathbb{N}};+,Pw_ p(x),|_{\Pr}>\) and \({\mathfrak M}=<{\mathbb{Z}};+,<,Pw_ p(x),|_{\Pr}>\), where \({\mathbb{N}}\) is the set of natural numbers, \({\mathbb{Z}}\) is the set of integers, \(+\) is the operation of addition, \(<\) is the natural order on \({\mathbb{Z}}\), \(Pw_ p(x)\) is the predicate that distinguishes the powers of a fixed prime p, and \(x|_{\Pr}y\) means that x is a power of p and x divides the natural number y. From the decidability of the theory of the model \({\mathfrak M}\), using the ideas of \textit{Yu. G. Penzin} [Algebra (Irkutsk) 1974, No.3, 120-148 (1974), p. 138], we can prove the decidability of the elementary theory of the two-base model \(<{\mathbb{Z}};M;+,<,\in >\), where M is the chain of subgroups \({\mathbb{Z}}\), p\({\mathbb{Z}}\), \(p^ 2{\mathbb{Z}},...\), and \(\in\) is the relation of belonging to a subgroup.
