Thank you

Let $h_n$ be the class number of $K_{p^m} = \mathbb Q(\zeta_{p^m})$. If there is a proper subfield of $K_{p^m}$ with even class number, then $h_n$ will be even. With the exceptions of $p=29$ and $p=113$, the first few primes which follow this rule are $p=163, 277, 349, 397, 491, 547, 607, 709, 827, 853, 937, 941$. For each of these primes, there is a proper subfield of $K_{p}$ with even class number. For example, $p=163$, the cubic subfield of $K_{163}$ has class number $4$, and $p=941$, the quintic subfield of $K_{941}$ has class number $16$.
