Abstract: Let R be an order in a number field whose conductor ideal P : = (R : R ‾) is prime in the ring of integers R ‾. In this paper, we explore the factorization properties of such orders. Most notably, we give a complete characterization of the elasticity of R in terms of its class group. We conclude with an application to the computation of class groups of certain orders. • Elasticity of an order with prime conductor is determined. • Elasticity depends only on the class group structure. • Class group structure can be determined in certain special cases. • Examples of known elasticities and class groups are given.
