In \cite{MR1429354} and \cite{MR2021015}, Atanassov introduced the two arithmetic functions \[ I(n) = \prod_{p^\alpha || n} p^{1/\alpha} ~ \text{ and }~ R(n) = \prod_{p^\alpha || n} p^{\alpha -1}\] called the irrational factor and the restrictive factor, respectively. Alkan, Ledoan, Panaitopol, and the authors explore properties of these arithmetic functions in \cite{MR2452808}, \cite{MR2647199}, \cite{MR2022035} and \cite{pre05949797}. In the present paper, we generalize these functions to a larger class of elements of $\text{PSL}_2(\mathbb{Z})$, and explore some of the properties of these maps.
