We've got two numbers: 5401 and 6216. Let's find their sum.

Step 1: We'll start by adding the digits 1 & 6 in column 1 and get 7.

Step 2: We'll start by adding the digits 0 & 1 in column 2 and get 1.

Step 3: We'll start by adding the digits 4 & 2 in column 3 and get 6.

Step 4: We'll start by adding the digits 5 & 6 in column 4 and get 11.
We'll write down the last digit 1 and carry the 1 to the next column.

So, 5401 + 6216 = 11617.
