We've got two numbers: 997 and 6451. Let's find their sum.

Step 1: We'll start by adding the digits 7 & 1 in column 1 and get 8.

Step 2: We'll start by adding the digits 9 & 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 9 & 4 in column 3 and get 14.
We'll write down the last digit 4 and carry the 1 to the next column.

Step 4: We'll start by adding the digits 0 & 6 in column 4 and get 7.

So, 997 + 6451 = 7448.
