We've got two numbers: 5371 and 7229. Let's find their sum.

Step 1: We'll start by adding the digits 1 & 9 in column 1 and get 10.
We'll write down the last digit 0 and carry the 1 to the next column.

Step 2: We'll start by adding the digits 7 & 2 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 3 & 2 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, 5371 + 7229 = 12600.
