Let's solve this addition problem. We have 6041 and 8404, and we need to add them together.

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

Step 2: We'll start by adding the digits 4 & 0 in column 2 and get 4.

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

Step 4: We'll start by adding the digits 6 & 8 in column 4 and get 14.
We'll write down the last digit 4 and carry the 1 to the next column.

So, 6041 + 8404 = 14445.
