Abstract
We define a sequence of rational integers for each finite index subgroup E of the group of units in some finite Galois number fields K in which prime p ramifies. For two subgroups E' ⊂ E of finite index in the group of units of K we prove the formula . This is a generalization of results of P. Dénes [3], [4] and F. Kurihara [5].
