We've got two numbers: 5951 and 8740. Let's find their sum.

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

Step 2: We'll start by adding the digits 5 & 4 in column 2 and get 9.

Step 3: We'll start by adding the digits 9 & 7 in column 3 and get 16.
We'll write down the last digit 6 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, 5951 + 8740 = 14691.
