Standard Sudoku rules apply. Cage totals are shown in the upper left. Inequalities between cells indicate which of the two is smaller.
Nine cells in the grid are multipliers. If a multiplier appears in a cage, then it multiplies the sum of the other digits in the cage to produce the cage total. For instance, if a cage contains 3, 4, 5, 6 and 3 is the multiplier, its total would be 3*(4+5+6)=45. A multiplier which is not in a cage has no effect. Each row, each column, and each box contains one multiplier, and each digit appears as a multiplier once.
Solution code: Row 8 followed by column 8
