Let's break this down. We're going to add 858 and 4298 together.

Step 1: We'll start by adding the digits 8 & 8 in column 1 and get 16.
We'll write down the last digit 6 and carry the 1 to the next column.

Step 2: We'll start by adding the digits 5 & 9 in column 2 and get 15.
We'll write down the last digit 5 and carry the 1 to the next column.

Step 3: We'll start by adding the digits 8 & 2 in column 3 and get 11.
We'll write down the last digit 1 and carry the 1 to the next column.

Step 4: We'll start by adding the digits 0 & 4 in column 4 and get 5.
