Abstract
Let and be odd integers, and let be any integer. For a prime number , we prove that the class number of the imaginary quadratic field is either divisible by or by a specific divisor of . Applying this result, we construct an infinite family of certain tuples of imaginary quadratic fields of the form with and whose class numbers are all divisible by . Our proofs use some deep results about primitive divisors of Lehmer sequences.
