The author gives an exact count of the number of automorphism classes of abelian extensions of degree \(\geq 4\) by using the Dirichlet series for enumerating such fields (from class field theory). The secret lies in powerful summatory methods based on the classical ``hyperbola'' method for summing the divisor function. An error estimate is also given for the computer time.
