We've got two numbers: 6527 and 6461. Let's find their sum.

Step 1: We'll start by adding the digits 7 & 1 in column 1 and get 8.

Step 2: We'll start by adding the digits 2 & 6 in column 2 and get 8.

Step 3: We'll start by adding the digits 5 & 4 in column 3 and get 9.

Step 4: We'll start by adding the digits 6 & 6 in column 4 and get 12.
We'll write down the last digit 2 and carry the 1 to the next column.

So, 6527 + 6461 = 12988.
