Abstract
We extend A.B. Mingarelli's method for constructing generalized factorials. Our extension uses a pair of arithmetic functions , where is superadditive. When is the identity function, our generalized factorial reduces to Mingarelli's. A result on the irrationality of the Euler constant within this framework is given. Using Dirichlet convolution, we characterize when two pairs and generate the same factorials.
