We are presented with 6257 and 1942. Let's work out the sum.

Step 1: We'll start by adding the digits 7 & 2 in column 1 and get 9.

Step 2: We'll start by adding the digits 5 & 4 in column 2 and get 9.

Step 3: We'll start by adding the digits 2 & 9 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 6 & 1 in column 4 and get 8.

So, 6257 + 1942 = 8199.
