Okay, we are tasked with adding 1682 and 6901. Let's begin!

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

Step 2: We'll start by adding the digits 8 & 0 in column 2 and get 8.

Step 3: We'll start by adding the digits 6 & 9 in column 3 and get 15.
We'll write down the last digit 5 and carry the 1 to the next column.

Step 4: We'll start by adding the digits 1 & 6 in column 4 and get 8.

So, 1682 + 6901 = 8583.
