We've got two numbers: 5171 and 408. Let's find their sum.

Step 1: We'll start by adding the digits 1 & 8 in column 1 and get 9.

Step 2: We'll start by adding the digits 7 & 0 in column 2 and get 7.

Step 3: We'll start by adding the digits 1 & 4 in column 3 and get 5.

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

So, 5171 + 408 = 5579.
