OK, let's do this. We've got 6142 and 2453 and we're adding them all together.

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

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

Step 3: We'll start by adding the digits 1 & 4 in column 3 and get 5.

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

So, 6142 + 2453 = 8595.
