We construct some families of quadratic fields whose class numbers are divisible by 3. The main tools used are a trinomial introduced by Kishi and a parametrization of Kishi and Miyake of a family of quadratic fields whose class numbers are divisible by 3. At the end we compute class number of these fields for some small values and verify our results.

Abstract


We construct some families of quadratic fields whose class numbers are divisible by 3. The main tools used are a trinomial introduced by Kishi and a parametrization of Kishi and Miyake of a family of quadratic fields whose class numbers are divisible by 3. At the end we compute class number of these fields for some small values and verify our results.
