Alright, let's solve this problem step by step. We have 1681 and 5642 and we're adding them together.

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

Step 2: We'll start by adding the digits 8 & 4 in column 2 and get 12.
We'll write down the last digit 2 and carry the 1 to the next column.

Step 3: We'll start by adding the digits 6 & 6 in column 3 and get 13.
We'll write down the last digit 3 and carry the 1 to the next column.

Step 4: We'll start by adding the digits 1 & 5 in column 4 and get 7.
