Problem

In \triangle ABC, AB, BC, and CA have lengths 3, 4, and 5, respectively. Let the incircle, circle I, of \triangle ABC touch AB, BC, and CA at C', A', and B', respectively. Construct three circles, A'', B'', and C'', externally tangent to the other two and circles A'', B'', and C'' are internally tangent to the circle I at A', B', and C', respectively. Let circles A'', B'', C'', and I have radii a, b, c, and r, respectively. If \frac{r}{a}+\frac{r}{b}+\frac{r}{c}=\frac{m}{n} where m and n are positive integers, find m+n.
