Factors are Friends

This one took surprisingly long to make, I was lucky 36 has so many factors. Enjoy:)
Play on SudokuPad
Rules:
Normal 9x9 Sudoku Rules Apply; Place the digits 1-9 once each in every row, column, and 3x3 box.
Killer cages: Digits in a cage must sum to the number given in the top left of the cage. Killer cage variation: Eight cages have a letter A-D in the top left corner. Cages with a letter indicate a sum of a factor of 36 where the sum of a cage of a given letter multiplied by the other cage of that letter is equal to 36 (i.e, the sum of the first A cage * the other A cage = 36). Cages of the same letter do not need to be the same sum. All factors of 36 are represented with the lettered cages. (i.e, one letter pair has 2 and 18, another has 3 and 12, 4 and 9, and, 6 and 6.)

Really enjoyed this! Love when 1-star puzzles still feature cool logic and aren't just write-ins
