We've got two numbers: 5984 and 8172. Let's find their sum.

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

Step 2: We'll start by adding the digits 8 & 7 in column 2 and get 15.
We'll write down the last digit 5 and carry the 1 to the next column.

Step 3: We'll start by adding the digits 9 & 1 in column 3 and get 11.
We'll write down the last digit 1 and carry the 1 to the next column.

Step 4: We'll start by adding the digits 5 & 8 in column 4 and get 14.
We'll write down the last digit 4 and carry the 1 to the next column.

So, 5984 + 8172 = 14156.
