We have numbers 9040 and 1451. Let's start adding them together.

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

Step 2: We'll start by adding the digits 4 & 5 in column 2 and get 9.

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 9 & 1 in column 4 and get 10.
We'll write down the last digit 0 and carry the 1 to the next column.

So, 9040 + 1451 = 10491.
