For a rational prime , representation by this norm form is equivalent to complete splitting in the Hilbert class field of Q of square root 229. Its Frobenius is a permutation of the three roots of . The quadratic residue condition makes this permutation even; a root modulo gives a fixed point, so the even permutation is the identity. Complete splitting makes the prime above principal. Its generator has norm , and the unit of norm minus one changes the sign to positive, giving the representation.
