Abstract: Let $ r,s,n$ be integers satisfying $ 0 \leq r < s < n$, $ s \geq n^{\alpha}$, $ \alpha > 1/4$, and let $ \gcd(r,s)=1$. Lenstra showed that the number of integer divisors of $ n$ equivalent to $ r \pmod s$ is upper bounded by $ O((\alpha-1/4)^{-2})$. We re-examine this problem, showing how to explicitly construct all such divisors, and incidentally improve this bound to $ O((\alpha-1/4)^{-3/2})$.
