This sudoku is somewhat heavier on the math side than my usual puzzles: The clues in the killer cages are results of some divisions where one digit serves as the divisor by which the sum of the other contained digits must be divided. I do not know if this rule has been applied in some puzzle before. If you are aware of such an example, please let me know. I like to thank CaptZebraCakes very much for testing the puzzle and giving valuable feedback. Please feel free to write me in the comments what you think of the variant. I wish you happy solving!

- Normal sudoku rules apply.

- Divisor killer cages: All given cages are divisor killer cages. Digits in a divisor killer cage do not repeat. Each cage contains one divisor digit (which has to be determined by the solver). The clue in the top left indicates the value of the sum of all other digits in that cage divided by the divisor digit.

Example: A 3-cell divisor killer cage containing the digits 1, 2 and 3 may have a valid clue of either 5=(2+3)/1, 2=(1+3)/2 or 1=(1+2)/3.

Very nice! Although the puzzle seems to be very mathy by the ruleset, the solvepath is always clear and therefore it is not as mathy as I expected. Thank you

Thank you for commenting and giving your opinion on the rule set, Snookerfan! I think the "mathiest" thing is to understand that the cages fulfill different restrictions than usual killer cages. Then, the actual solve path makes quite some use of "normal" sudoku.
Kind regards, sujoyku

Very fun puzzle. Easy to go wrong. I had to backtrack a few times.

Thank you for your comment, DiMono! I think it is tricky to adapt to the new rule set as the logic is similar but yet different to normal killer sudokus. I am glad that you had a fun solve.
Kind regards, sujoyku

Fantastic puzzle! 3* difficulty for me personally. Love the flow throughout

**
Thank you for the comment, coreng! It is good to hear that you enjoyed the flow of the solve. Also thank you for sharing your opinion on the difficulty. Since the rule set (to my knowledge) is new, I wanted to take into account that solvers first have to adapt to it. Therefore I tried not to be too light on the estimation.
Kind regards, sujoyku
