    The paper investigates the arithmetic of multiplicative subsemigroups of natural numbers defined by congruences using divisor theoretic methods. Necessary and sufficient conditions for the existence of a divisor theory and for unique factorization are given. As a corollary a new and simpler proof of the well-known theorem characterizing arithmetical congruence semigroups with unique factorization is obtained.
