We are presented with 1398 and 6181. Let's work out the sum.

Step 1: We'll start by adding the digits 8 & 1 in column 1 and get 9.

Step 2: We'll start by adding the digits 9 & 8 in column 2 and get 17.
We'll write down the last digit 7 and carry the 1 to the next column.

Step 3: We'll start by adding the digits 3 & 1 in column 3 and get 5.

Step 4: We'll start by adding the digits 1 & 6 in column 4 and get 7.

So, 1398 + 6181 = 7579.
