We've got two numbers: 8712 and 1654. Let's find their sum.

Step 1: We'll start by adding the digits 2 & 4 in column 1 and get 6.

Step 2: We'll start by adding the digits 1 & 5 in column 2 and get 6.

Step 3: We'll start by adding the digits 7 & 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 8 & 1 in column 4 and get 10.
We'll write down the last digit 0 and carry the 1 to the next column.

So, 8712 + 1654 = 10366.
