In this paper, we construct a family of quadratic fields whose class numbers are divisible by five. We obtain this result by extending the method of Kishi and Miyake [1] and using a family of quintics introduced by Kondo [2]. Notation. Throughout this paper, we shall use the following notation. Z, Q will be used in the usual sense. For a rational prime p and a Z, a ve 0, up (a) will mean the greatest exponent m such that pm la. We shall consider various number fields, i.e. finite extensions of Q, k, K, L, F, If p is a prime ideal and a an integral ideal 4= 0 in a number field, ,(a) will mean the greatest exponent m such that pm [a. If p is a prime ideal dividing p, e,/p will mean the ramification index of p. For f(x) Z[x] ,f(J) (x) will mean the jth derivative of f(x). Cn will mean the cyclic group with order n; Dn the dihedral group with order 2n. hk will mean the class number of a number field k. If K is a Galois extension of k, G (K/k)will mean the Galois group for K/k. 1. Ramification of primes. Let q be an odd prime and f(x) be an irreducible polynomial of degree q in Q[x]. Let 0 be a root of f(x) and F --Q(0). We denote by L the minimal splitting field of f(x) over Q. We shall first prove’ Proposition 1. Suppose L" Q] <2q and that no prime number is totally ramified in F. Then G (L/Q) is isomorphic to D and L is an unramifled cyclic extension of degree q over the quadratic field k contained in L which is unique. Proof. Since [L" Q] <2q and q l[L" Q] G(L/Q) should be Cq or Dq. But C is excluded because of our assumption on the ramification in F/Q. Thus G(L/Q) D and there is a unique k such that L k Q, [k" Q] 2 and [L" k] q. Next, we have to prove that L/k is unramified. Suppose a prime ideal 3 of L is ramified in L/k. Its ramification index is q since L/k is a cyclic extension with degree q. Since [L" F] 2, the prime p 3 (q F is tota!y ramified in F/Q. This contradicts to the assumption. Since q is odd, the infinite primes of k are also unrami-
