An Attempt At One Of The All Time Greats

*** TODAY'S PUZZLE ***
On a sad day for Simon he attempts a puzzle that has been recommended to us over and over again over these last months. It carries the dreaded (or relished!?) 100%-rated 5* difficulty moniker on Logic Masters and is a unique combination of Meidjuluk and Fillomino by Agent. The central ideas are quite lovely and making the fit together feels absolutely miraculous.

Play the puzzle at the link below:

Or to use the tinyurl link Simon is playing in the video (which has slightly different grid lines):
https://tinyurl.com/AgentP3rma

Rules:
Divide the grid into two areas of orthogonally connected cells. One of the areas is a Meidjuluk (N=9), the other is a Fillomino. Divide the Meidjuluk area into 9 regions, one of each size 1 to 9. A Meidjuluk region may not contain repeated numbers, and it may only contain factors of its size (eg a region of size 6 may contain any combination of 1,2,3, and 6, including none of them). Divide the Fillomino area into orthogonally connected regions such that no two Fillomino regions of the same size share an edge, and enter a number into each cell equal to the size of its region.
