We've got two numbers: 6114 and 8517. Let's find their sum.

Step 1: We'll start by adding the digits 4 & 7 in column 1 and get 11.
We'll write down the last digit 1 and carry the 1 to the next column.

Step 2: We'll start by adding the digits 1 & 1 in column 2 and get 3.

Step 3: We'll start by adding the digits 1 & 5 in column 3 and get 6.

Step 4: We'll start by adding the digits 6 & 8 in column 4 and get 14.
We'll write down the last digit 4 and carry the 1 to the next column.

So, 6114 + 8517 = 14631.
