1999 AIME Problem 9

A function f is defined on the complex numbers by f(z)=(a+bi)z, where a_{} and b_{} are positive numbers. This function has the property that the image of each point in the complex plane is equidistant from that point and the origin. Given that |a+bi|=8 and that b^2=m/n, where m_{} and n_{} are relatively prime positive integers. Find m+n.

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