2002 AIME II Problem 11

Two distinct, real, infinite geometric series each have a sum of 1 and have the same second term. The third term of one of the series is 1/8, and the second term of both series can be written in the form \frac{\sqrt{m}-n}p, where m, n, and p are positive integers and m is not divisible by the square of any prime. Find 100m+10n+p.

Leading zeroes must be inputted, so if your answer is 34, then input 034
