Find the numbers

I'm thinking of two integer numbers, each of them is more than 1 and their sum is less than 100.

I tell my friend CEan - Ash the sum of these two numbers, and another friend, CEan - MaRo, product of these two numbers.

Then such a dialog took place:

Ash: I can't determine what are these numbers.
MaRo: Ah, i knew you wouldn't be able to do this.
Ash: Oh, then i know what they are!
MaRo: Oh, then i know them too!

Can you determine the numbers?













Ans:
Assumption : Both numbers should be more than 1

since Ash and Mac knew sum and other the product...but they never exchange information abt sum/product....

if numbers are 2,2

Ash knows 4....but basic priciple is both numbers are more than one so
1,3(it differs because...one number is equal to one)
2,2

and Mach know 4...
so it can be
1,4 (it differs because...on number is equal to one)
2,2
............................
if numbers are 2,3

Ash knows 5....but basic priciple is both numbers are more than one so
1,4(it differs because...one number is equal to one)
2,3

and Mach know 6...
so it can be
1,6 (it differs because...on number is equal to one)
2,3

1 < x < y and x+y < 100 [x,y are the numbers].

But, is the answer, right?

Think harder!
