We've got two numbers: 4993 and 1872. Let's find their sum.

Step 1: We'll start by adding the digits 3 & 2 in column 1 and get 5.

Step 2: We'll start by adding the digits 9 & 7 in column 2 and get 16.
We'll write down the last digit 6 and carry the 1 to the next column.

Step 3: We'll start by adding the digits 9 & 8 in column 3 and get 18.
We'll write down the last digit 8 and carry the 1 to the next column.

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

So, 4993 + 1872 = 6865.
