We have numbers 7401 and 4462. Let's start adding them together.

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

Step 2: We'll start by adding the digits 0 & 6 in column 2 and get 6.

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

Step 4: We'll start by adding the digits 7 & 4 in column 4 and get 11.
We'll write down the last digit 1 and carry the 1 to the next column.

So, 7401 + 4462 = 11863.
