Abstract: Iannucci considered the positive divisors of a natural number $n$ that do not exceed $sqrtn$ and found all forms of numbers whose such divisors are in arithmetic progression. In this paper, we generalize Iannucci's result by excluding the trivial divisors $1$ and $sqrtn$ (when $n$ is a square). Surprisingly, the length of our arithmetic progression cannot exceed $5$.
