We are presented with 6864 and 2044. Let's work out the sum.

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

Step 2: We'll start by adding the digits 6 & 4 in column 2 and get 10.
We'll write down the last digit 0 and carry the 1 to the next column.

Step 3: We'll start by adding the digits 8 & 0 in column 3 and get 9.

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

So, 6864 + 2044 = 8908.
