Okay, we are tasked with adding 5956 and 2904. Let's begin!

Step 1: We'll start by adding the digits 6 & 4 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 5 & 0 in column 2 and get 6.

Step 3: We'll start by adding the digits 9 & 9 in column 3 and get 18.
We'll write down the last digit 8 and carry the 1 to the next column.

Step 4: We'll start by adding the digits 5 & 2 in column 4 and get 8.

So, 5956 + 2904 = 8860.
