We are presented with 9415 and 8040. Let's work out the sum.

Step 1: We'll start by adding the digits 5 & 0 in column 1 and get 5.

Step 2: We'll start by adding the digits 1 & 4 in column 2 and get 5.

Step 3: We'll start by adding the digits 4 & 0 in column 3 and get 4.

Step 4: We'll start by adding the digits 9 & 8 in column 4 and get 17.
We'll write down the last digit 7 and carry the 1 to the next column.
