We've got two numbers: 2261 and 3281. Let's find their sum.

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

Step 2: We'll start by adding the digits 6 & 8 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 2 & 2 in column 3 and get 5.

Step 4: We'll start by adding the digits 2 & 3 in column 4 and get 5.

So, 2261 + 3281 = 5542.
