State a result involving the discriminant of a number field that implies that the class group is finite.

Use Dedekind's theorem to factor 2,3,52,3,5 and 7 into prime ideals in K=Q(34)K=\mathbb{Q}(\sqrt{-34}). By factoring 1+341+\sqrt{-34} and 4+344+\sqrt{-34}, or otherwise, prove that the class group of KK is cyclic, and determine its order.
