No problem, let's work through this together. We're starting with 1713 and 4244 and adding them all up.

Step 1: We'll start by adding the digits 3 & 4 in column 1 and get 7.

Step 2: We'll start by adding the digits 1 & 4 in column 2 and get 5.

Step 3: We'll start by adding the digits 7 & 2 in column 3 and get 9.

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

So, 1713 + 4244 = 5957.
