The imaginary quadratic field has discriminant , and its Minkowski bound for ideal classes isThe polynomial defining its ring of integers of a quadratic field has no root modulo or , so these rational primes are inert. Factoring an integral ideal of norm at most eight into prime ideals then shows that its only possible nontrivial factor is the principal ideal , of norm four. Every ideal class is therefore principal, and
