Let's solve this addition problem. We have 8469 and 2371, and we need to add them together.

Step 1: We'll start by adding the digits 9 & 1 in column 1 and get 10.
We'll write down the last digit 0 and carry the 1 to the next column.

Step 2: We'll start by adding the digits 6 & 7 in column 2 and get 14.
We'll write down the last digit 4 and carry the 1 to the next column.

Step 3: We'll start by adding the digits 4 & 3 in column 3 and get 8.

Step 4: We'll start by adding the digits 8 & 2 in column 4 and get 10.
We'll write down the last digit 0 and carry the 1 to the next column.

So, 8469 + 2371 = 10840.
