We are presented with 6601 and 1637. Let's work out the sum.

Step 1: We'll start by adding the digits 1 & 7 in column 1 and get 8.

Step 2: We'll start by adding the digits 0 & 3 in column 2 and get 3.

Step 3: We'll start by adding the digits 6 & 6 in column 3 and get 12.
We'll write down the last digit 2 and carry the 1 to the next column.

Step 4: We'll start by adding the digits 6 & 1 in column 4 and get 8.

So, 6601 + 1637 = 8238.
