We've got two numbers: 8261 and 9593. Let's find their sum.

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

Step 2: We'll start by adding the digits 6 & 9 in column 2 and get 15.
We'll write down the last digit 5 and carry the 1 to the next column.

Step 3: We'll start by adding the digits 2 & 5 in column 3 and get 8.

Step 4: We'll start by adding the digits 8 & 9 in column 4 and get 17.
We'll write down the last digit 7 and carry the 1 to the next column.

So, 8261 + 9593 = 17854.
