We have numbers 1700 and 6431. Let's start adding them together.

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

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

Step 3: We'll start by adding the digits 7 & 4 in column 3 and get 11.
We'll write down the last digit 1 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, 1700 + 6431 = 8131.
