It is known, that if P denotes the rational field, then one can make a one-to-one correspondence between the ideal classes of P (l/d-) and the classes of the mentioned quadratic forms. Thus the theorem of HEILBRONN and LINFOO~ implies that in the mentioned nine cases the class number of P (l/d) is l, and this can be possible at most for one further negative d.Recall that if the number of the ideal classes is 1, then the fundamental theorem of arithmetic holds for the integers of P (]/)-). Thus in the case of the mentioned nine d, the integers of P (l/d) form a unique factorization domain. If ld]-<-11, the mentioned domains are Euclidean. On the other hand, it is known that there does not exist more Euclidean rings among the integers of imaginary quadratic fields. Thus in the first five cases the Euclidean algorithm is a natural tool for proving the fundamental theorem of arithmetic. But in the last four cases,--as far as I know--there does not exist any proof which does not make use of the ideal classes. 1
