No problem, let's work through this together. We're starting with 5811 and 4178 and adding them all up.

Step 1: We'll start by adding the digits 1 & 8 in column 1 and get 9.

Step 2: We'll start by adding the digits 1 & 7 in column 2 and get 8.

Step 3: We'll start by adding the digits 8 & 1 in column 3 and get 9.

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

So, 5811 + 4178 = 9989.
