We have numbers 8250 and 9621. Let's start adding them together.

Step 1: We'll start by adding the digits 0 & 1 in column 1 and get 1.

Step 2: We'll start by adding the digits 5 & 2 in column 2 and get 7.

Step 3: We'll start by adding the digits 2 & 6 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, 8250 + 9621 = 17871.
