Puzzle 211 (Multiplication Link)

Last night, several users on PuzzleSquareJP posted puzzles in a genre called Multiplication Link.  I decided to try writing one myself.  It's an interesting idea!  While it's somewhat similar to Balance Loop, the use of product clues rather than sum clues gives it a different feel while solving.  Constructing this reminded me of Cave (Product): clues are harder to tweak but can yield interesting results when done correctly.

Rules: Draw a single orthogonal closed loop through some of the grid vertices. The loop must turn at cells with circles, and numbers give the product of lengths extending from the clue.
