We've got two numbers: 6260 and 7971. Let's find their sum.

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

Step 2: We'll start by adding the digits 6 & 7 in column 2 and get 13.
We'll write down the last digit 3 and carry the 1 to the next column.

Step 3: We'll start by adding the digits 2 & 9 in column 3 and get 12.
We'll write down the last digit 2 and carry the 1 to the next column.

Step 4: We'll start by adding the digits 6 & 7 in column 4 and get 14.
We'll write down the last digit 4 and carry the 1 to the next column.

So, 6260 + 7971 = 14231.
