Let's break this down. We're going to add 5401 and 9344 together.

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

Step 2: We'll start by adding the digits 0 & 4 in column 2 and get 4.

Step 3: We'll start by adding the digits 4 & 3 in column 3 and get 7.

Step 4: We'll start by adding the digits 5 & 9 in column 4 and get 14.
We'll write down the last digit 4 and carry the 1 to the next column.

So, 5401 + 9344 = 14745.
