We've got two numbers: 5502 and 788. Let's find their sum.

Step 1: We'll start by adding the digits 2 & 8 in column 1 and get 10.
We'll write down the last digit 0 and carry the 1 to the next column.

Step 2: We'll start by adding the digits 0 & 8 in column 2 and get 9.

Step 3: We'll start by adding the digits 5 & 7 in column 3 and get 12.
We'll write down the last digit 2 and carry the 1 to the next column.

Step 4: We'll start by adding the digits 5 & 0 in column 4 and get 6.

So, 5502 + 788 = 6290.
