We have numbers 255 and 5296. Let's start adding them together.

Step 1: We'll start by adding the digits 5 & 6 in column 1 and get 11.
We'll write down the last digit 1 and carry the 1 to the next column.

Step 2: We'll start by adding the digits 5 & 9 in column 2 and get 15.
We'll write down the last digit 5 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 0 & 5 in column 4 and get 5.

So, 255 + 5296 = 5551.
