Mathematics Problem



A census-taker  knocks  on  a  door,  and  asks  the  woman  inside  how many  children  she  has  and  how  old  they  are.
"I  have  three  daughters,  their  ages  are  whole  numbers,  and  the  product  of  the  ages is  36,"  says  the  mother.
 "That's  not  enough  information,"  responds  the  census-taker.
"I'd  tell  you  the  sum  of  their  ages,  but  you'd  still  be  stumped."
 "I  wish  you'd  tell  me  something  more."
"Okay,  my  oldest  daughter  Annie  likes  dogs."
 What  are  the  ages  of  the  three  daughters?
