We discuss the fragmentation of primordial gas clouds in the universe after decoupling. Comparing the time scale of collapse with that of fragmentation, we obtain the typical mass of a fragment both numerically and analytically. It is shown that the estimated mass gives the minimum mass of a fragment which is formed from the primordial gas cloud and is essentially determined by the Chandrasekhar mass.
