Let's solve this addition problem. We have 6172 and 1544, and we need to add them together.

Step 1: We'll start by adding the digits 2 & 4 in column 1 and get 6.

Step 2: We'll start by adding the digits 7 & 4 in column 2 and get 11.
We'll write down the last digit 1 and carry the 1 to the next column.

Step 3: We'll start by adding the digits 1 & 5 in column 3 and get 7.

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

So, 6172 + 1544 = 7716.
