Alright, let's solve this problem step by step. We have 5245 and 771 and we're adding them together.

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

Step 2: We'll start by adding the digits 4 & 7 in column 2 and get 11.
We'll write down the last digit 1 and carry the 1 to the next column.

Step 3: We'll start by adding the digits 2 & 7 in column 3 and get 10.
We'll write down the last digit 0 and carry the 1 to the next column.

Step 4: We'll start by adding the digits 5 & 0 in column 4 and get 6.

So, 5245 + 771 = 6016.
