文摘We investigate arithmetic properties of certain subsets of square-free positive integers and obtain in this way some results concerning the class number h(d) of the real quadratic field Q(√d). In particular, we give a new proof of the result of Hasse, asserting that in this case h(d) = 1 is possible only if d is of the form p, 2q or qr. where p.q. r are primes and q≡r≡3(mod 4).
