Torus 
is the surface produced by revolving a circle with radius 3 around an axis in the plane of the circle that is a distance 6 from the center of the circle (so like a donut). Let 
be a sphere with a radius 11. When rests on the outside of , it is externally tangent to along a circle with radius 
, and when rests on the outside of , it is externally tangent to along a circle with radius 
. The difference 
can be written as 
, where 
and 
are relatively prime positive integers. Find 
.
