Alright, let's solve this problem step by step. We have 6857 and 4102 and we're adding them together.

Step 1: We'll start by adding the digits 7 & 2 in column 1 and get 9.

Step 2: We'll start by adding the digits 5 & 0 in column 2 and get 5.

Step 3: We'll start by adding the digits 8 & 1 in column 3 and get 9.

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

So, 6857 + 4102 = 10959.
