OK, let's do this. We've got 1873 and 2136 and we're adding them all together.

Step 1: We'll start by adding the digits 3 & 6 in column 1 and get 9.

Step 2: We'll start by adding the digits 7 & 3 in column 2 and get 10.
We'll write down the last digit 0 and carry the 1 to the next column.

Step 3: We'll start by adding the digits 8 & 1 in column 3 and get 10.
We'll write down the last digit 0 and carry the 1 to the next column.

Step 4: We'll start by adding the digits 1 & 2 in column 4 and get 4.

So, 1873 + 2136 = 4009.
