Examples:
- These are all the irregular primes up to $1061$
37, 59, 67, 101, 103, 131, 149, 157, 233, 257, 263, 271,
283, 293, 307, 311, 347, 353, 379, 389, 401,
409, 421, 433, 461, 463, 467, 491, 523, 541,
547, 557, 577, 587, 593, 607, 613, 617, 619,
631, 647, 653, 659, 673, 677, 683, 691, 727,
751, 757, 761, 773, 797, 809, 811, 821, 827,
839, 877, 881, 887, 929, 953, 971, 1061.
(for this, see the On-Line Encyclopedia of Integer Sequences, sequence A000928)
- The following are the first few class numbers of the cyclotomic fields $\Rats(\zeta_p)$ where $\zeta_p$ is a primitive $p$ th root of unity:
| $p$ |

| 3 |

| 5 |

| 7 |

| 11 |

| 53 |
4889 |
| 59 |
41241 |
| 61 |
76301 |

Remarks:
- Notice that $37$ divides $37$ and $59$ divides $41241=3\cdot 59\cdot 233$ thus $37,\ 59$ are irregular primes (see above).
- The class number of the cyclotomic fields grows very quickly with $p$ For example, $p=19$ is the last cyclotomic field of class number 1.
