The Rules:
- [Sudoku] Fill every row, column, and 3x3 box with the digits from 1 to 9 once each.
- [Killer]: Digits cannot repeat in cages.
- [Greatest Common Factor] Numbers in boxes between cages represent the Greatest Common Factor of the products of the digits in each cage.
- Ex: If one cage contains 2,3,5 and the the cage next to it 3 4 and 6, then the first cage has a product of 30, the second a product of 72, and their greatest common factor would be 6.
An Example:
Try the example on Sven's Sudoku Pad.

simply stunning from start to finish; loved the way the cages interacted with each other to make conclusions, and like others i am astounded that this can be created, let alone solved in such a nice way

Beautiful and clever setting! Impressive how you even managed to craft a grid that solves uniquely with such aesthetic choices like this x)

Beautiful matching of the clues to the boxes, and impressive to not need anything else.

An extraordinary puzzle with an impressive setting! Incredible that you were able to find a construction with all GCF sitting in their own boxes… Thank you so much for creating and sharing this wonderful masterpiece.

A phenomenal puzzle both in concept and in design! I can't understand why this masterpiece has so few solves. Maybe people are just scared to death about anything that refers to multiplication... even if very little is actually needed.
