We will prove a theorem providing sufficient condition for the divisibility of class numbers of certain imaginary quadratic fields by 2g, whereg>1is an integer and the discriminant of such fields has only two prime divisors.

In this paper, we show that the number of real quadratic fields 𝕂 of discriminant Δ𝕂 < x whose class group has an element of order g (with g even) is ≥ x1/g/5 if x > x0, uniformly for positive integers g ≤ ( log log x)/(8 log log log x). We also apply the result to find real quadratic number fields whose class numbers have many prime factors.

AbstractWe consider the divisibility of the class numbers of imaginary quadratic fields $\mathbb{Q}(\sqrt{2^{2k} - q^n})$, where q is an odd prime number, k and n are positive integers. Suppose that k ≡ 1 mod 2 or n ≢ 3 mod 6. We show that the class numbers of imaginary quadratic fields $\mathbb{Q}(\sqrt{2^{2k} - q^n})$ ≠ $\mathbb{Q}(\sqrt{-3})$ are divisible by n for q ≡ 3 mod 8. This is a generalization of the result of Kishi for imaginary quadratic fields $\mathbb{Q}(\sqrt{2^{2k} - 3^n})$ when k ≡ 1 mod 2 or n ≢ 3 mod 6. We also show that the class numbers of imaginary quadratic fields $\mathbb{Q}(\sqrt{2^{2k} - q^n})$ ≠ $\mathbb{Q}(\sqrt{-1})$ are divisible by n for q ≡ 1 mod 4 and the class numbers of imaginary quadratic fields $\mathbb{Q}(\sqrt{2^{2k} - q^n})$ ≠ $\mathbb{Q}(\sqrt{-3})$ are divisible by n for q ≡ 7 mod 8.
