We've got two numbers: 7286 and 2555. Let's find their sum.

Step 1: We'll start by adding the digits 6 & 5 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 & 5 in column 2 and get 14.
We'll write down the last digit 4 and carry the 1 to the next column.

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

Step 4: We'll start by adding the digits 7 & 2 in column 4 and get 9.

So, 7286 + 2555 = 9841.
