We have numbers 1261 and 4169. Let's start adding them together.

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 6 & 6 in column 2 and get 13.
We'll write down the last digit 3 and carry the 1 to the next column.

Step 3: We'll start by adding the digits 2 & 1 in column 3 and get 4.

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

So, 1261 + 4169 = 5430.
