Note that the infinite sum L(1,χD) that is in the class number formula<br />

(5.3) can be written, too, as an infinite product:<br />

L(1,χD) = <br />

p<br />

<br />

1 − χD(p)<br />

−1 ,<br />

p<br />

where the product is over all primes. It is shown in [Shanks 1971], [Schoof<br />

1982] that if the ERH is assumed (see Conjecture 1.4.2), and if<br />

˜L = <br />

p≤n 1/5<br />

<br />

1 − χD(p)<br />

−1 <br />

, h ˜ =(w/π) |D| L, ˜<br />

p<br />

then there is a computable number c such that |h − ˜ h|
