It is well known that for any prime p≡ 3 (mod 4), the class numbers of the quadratic fields
and and h (-p), respectively, are odd. It is natural to ask whether there is a formula for h (p)/h
(-p) modulo powers of 2. We show the formula h (p)≡ h (-p) m (p)(mod 16), where m (p) is
an integer defined using the" negative" continued fraction expansion of. Our result solves a
conjecture of Richard Guy.
