G. Rabinowitsch [3] generalized the concept of the Euclidean algorithm and proved a theorem on a criterion in order that the class number of an imaginary quadratic number field is equal to one:

Theorem. It is necessary and sufficient for the class number of an imaginary quadratic number fieldD = 1 — 4m, m > 0, to be one that x2 — x + m is prime for any integer x such that 1 ≤ x ≤ m — 2.
