Let's simplify the expression step by step:

The expression is: \[ (16 - 12)^2 + 5(8 + 22) \cdot 53 - (1 + 4)^2 \]

  1. Simplify \( (16 - 12)^2 \): \[ 16 - 12 = 4 \implies (4)^2 = 16 \]

  2. Simplify \( (1 + 4)^2 \): \[ 1 + 4 = 5 \implies (5)^2 = 25 \]

  3. Simplify \( (8 + 22) \): \[ 8 + 22 = 30 \]

  4. Now, put this back into the expression: \[ 16 + 5 \cdot 30 \cdot 53 - 25 \]

  5. Now compute \( 5 \cdot 30 \): \[ 5 \cdot 30 = 150 \]

  6. Multiply \( 150 \cdot 53 \): \[ 150 \cdot 53 = 7950 \]

  7. Now substitute this back into the expression: \[ 16 + 7950 - 25 \]

  8. Combine the terms: \[ 16 - 25 = -9 \] \[ -9 + 7950 = 7941 \]

So the final simplified value of the numerator is \( 7941 \).
