Let Q be the rational number field and h(m) be the class number of the real quadratic field with a positive square-free integer m. It is known that if h(m) = 1 holds, then m is one of the following four types with prime numbers p ≡ 1, pt ≡ 3 (mod 4) (1 昤 i ≥ 4) : i) m = p, ii) m = p1, iii) m = 2 or m = 2p2, iv) m = p3p4 (see Behrbohm and Rédei [1]). The sufficient conditions for h(m) > 1 with these m were given by several authors: in all cases by Hasse [2], in case i) by Ankeny, Chowla and Hasse [3] and by Lang [4], in case ii) by Takeuchi [5] and by Yokoi [6].

Many authors have studied the relationship between nontrivial class numbers h(n) of real quadratic fields and the lack of integer solutions for certain diophantine equations. Most such results have pertained to positive square-free integers of the form n = l2 + r with integer >0, integer r dividing 4l and — l<r<l. For n of this form, is said to be of Richaud-Degert (R-D) type (see [3] and [8]; as well as [2], [6], [7], [12] and [13] for extensions and generalizations of R-D types.)

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.
