Alright, let's solve this problem step by step. We have 4040 and 6169 and we're adding them together.

Step 1: We'll start by adding the digits 0 & 9 in column 1 and get 9.

Step 2: We'll start by adding the digits 4 & 6 in column 2 and get 10.
We'll write down the last digit 0 and carry the 1 to the next column.

Step 3: We'll start by adding the digits 0 & 1 in column 3 and get 2.

Step 4: We'll start by adding the digits 4 & 6 in column 4 and get 10.
We'll write down the last digit 0 and carry the 1 to the next column.

So, 4040 + 6169 = 10209.
