Confusion about ideal class group computation

I am attempting to compute the ideal class group of the real quadratic field $K = \Bbb Q(\sqrt{65})$, which has ring of integers $\mathcal{O}_K = \Bbb Z\left[\frac{1 + \sqrt{65}}{2}\right]$. The ...

Is there always a prime having only one prime above it?

Given a number field $K / \Bbb Q$, can we find a prime $p \in \Bbb Z$ which has only one prime of $K$ above it (e.g. $p$ is inert or $p$ is totally ramified)? For instance, if $K$ is Galois over $\...

Lattice Bases of Prime (Ideal) Divisors

My question is: How can I find the prime (ideal) divisors of 2 and 3 in the ring of integers of $\mathbb Q[\sqrt{-14}]$ and $\mathbb Q[\sqrt{-23}]$? Here's what I have so far. I found that (2, $\...
