The expression given is a hexadecimal number. To simplify it, we need to convert it to decimal. The decimal value of the given number is 11 * 16^15 + 14 * 16^14 + 11 * 16^13 + 8 * 16^12 + 11 * 16^11 + 1 * 16^10 + 3 * 16^9 + 0 * 16^8 + 3 * 16^7 + 5 * 16^6 + 1 * 16^5 + 1 * 16^4 + 14 * 16^3 + 13 * 16^2 + 8 * 16^1 + 9 * 16^0 = 4276808903528550601. Dividing this by 536870912 (which is 2^29) gives a quotient of 7967 and a remainder of 8. Therefore, the simplified expression is 8.
