We've got two numbers: 1423 and 6540. Let's find their sum.

Step 1: We'll start by adding the digits 3 & 0 in column 1 and get 3.

Step 2: We'll start by adding the digits 2 & 4 in column 2 and get 6.

Step 3: We'll start by adding the digits 4 & 5 in column 3 and get 9.

Step 4: We'll start by adding the digits 1 & 6 in column 4 and get 7.

So, 1423 + 6540 = 7963.
