I am not able to prove it with euclidean evaluation $$ d(m+n\sqrt{7}) = |m^2 - 7 n^2 |$$. Is there any other way?

It is Euclidean with respect to this norm. – Angina Seng Oct 23 '18 at 16:48

1For the proof, compare with this question, or this one. – Dietrich Burde Oct 23 '18 at 16:58

There is an OEIS related list https://oeis.org/A048981 , and the ring of integers in $\Bbb Q(\sqrt 7)$ is Euclidean. References are inserted there. – dan_fulea Oct 23 '18 at 17:00
