In A B C \triangle {ABC} , A B = A C = 100 {AB} = {AC} = {100} , and B C = 56 {BC} = {56} . Circle P {P} has radius 16 {16} and is tangent to A C \overline{AC} and B C \overline{BC} . Circle Q {Q} is externally tangent to P {P} and is tangent to A B \overline{AB} and B C \overline{BC} . No point of circle Q {Q} lies outside of A B C \triangle {ABC} . The radius of circle Q {Q} can be expressed in the form m n k {m} - {n}\sqrt {k} , where m {m} , n {n} , and k {k} are positive integers and k {k} is the product of distinct primes. Find m + n k {m} + {n}{k} .


The answer is 254.
