Formulas for the variance of digits of 1/p in base b are derived for the half-order case q=(p-1)/2, using Dedekind sums and class numbers when p≡3 mod 4 or products of Bernoulli numbers when p≡1 mod 4.

Frequencies of digits 0-9 in the decimal period of 1/p for primes p ≡ 3 mod 4 with 10 of order (p-1)/2 are expressed in terms of class numbers of two imaginary quadratic fields, with analogues for primitive roots and octal digits.
