We've got two numbers: 5420 and 7198. Let's find their sum.

Step 1: We'll start by adding the digits 0 & 8 in column 1 and get 8.

Step 2: We'll start by adding the digits 2 & 9 in column 2 and get 11.
We'll write down the last digit 1 and carry the 1 to the next column.

Step 3: We'll start by adding the digits 4 & 1 in column 3 and get 6.

Step 4: We'll start by adding the digits 5 & 7 in column 4 and get 12.
We'll write down the last digit 2 and carry the 1 to the next column.

So, 5420 + 7198 = 12618.
