Abstract
Given coprime positive integers , B\'ezout's Lemma tells us that there are integers so that . We show that, interchanging and if necessary, we may choose and to be Loeschian numbers, i.e., of the form , where , the ring of integers of the number field , where . We do this by using Atkin-Lehner elements in some quaternion algebras . We use this fact to count the number of conjugacy classes of elements of order 3 in an order .
