If you're trying to find out the difference of the circumferences then subtract the 2 circumferences:

So the greater wheel is 11,879.21 inches

If you're trying to find a percentage then divide the larger wheel's circumference by the smaller wheel's circumference:

Multiply this figure by 100 to find the percentage:

So the greater wheel is 9,901.3% larger. I hope thats what you're looking for.
