Alright, let's solve this problem step by step. We have 861 and 8701 and we're adding them together.

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

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

Step 3: We'll start by adding the digits 8 & 7 in column 3 and get 15.
We'll write down the last digit 5 and carry the 1 to the next column.

Step 4: We'll start by adding the digits 0 & 8 in column 4 and get 9.

So, 861 + 8701 = 9562.
