We have numbers 1583 and 8278. Let's start adding them together.

Step 1: We'll start by adding the digits 3 & 8 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 8 & 7 in column 2 and get 16.
We'll write down the last digit 6 and carry the 1 to the next column.

Step 3: We'll start by adding the digits 5 & 2 in column 3 and get 8.

Step 4: We'll start by adding the digits 1 & 8 in column 4 and get 9.

So, 1583 + 8278 = 9861.
