Popis: Suppose that $ m\equiv 1\mod 4 $ is a prime and that $ n\equiv 3\mod 4 $ is a primitive root modulo $ m $. In this paper we obtain a relation between the class number of the imaginary quadratic field $ \Q(\sqrt{-nm}) $ and the digits of the base $ n $ expansion of $ 1/m $. Secondly, if $ m\equiv 3\mod 4 $, we study some convoluted sums involving the base $ n $ digits of $ 1/m $ and arrive at certain congruence relations involving the class number of $ \Q(\sqrt{-m}) $ modulo certain primes $ p $ which properly divide $ n+1 $.
