Not to worry, we've got 551 and 1276. Let's get to adding them!

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

Step 2: We'll start by adding the digits 5 & 7 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 5 & 2 in column 3 and get 8.

Step 4: We'll start by adding the digits 0 & 1 in column 4 and get 1.

So, 551 + 1276 = 1827.
