Abstract

For any integer l1l\geq 1, let p1,p2,,pl+2p_1, p_2, \ldots, p_{l+2} be distinct prime numbers 5.\geq 5. For all real numbers X>1,X>1, we let N3,l(X)N_{3,l}(X) denote the number of real quadratic fields KK whose absolute discriminant dKXd_K\leq X and dKd_K is divisible by (p1pl+2)(p_1\ldots p_{l+2}) together with the class number hKh_K of KK divisible by 2l3.2^{l}\cdot 3. Then, in this short note, by following the method in \cite{Byeonkoh}, we prove that N3,l(X)X78N_{3,l}(X) \gg X^\frac{7}{8} for all large enough XX's.
