Let's break this down. We're going to add 5653 and 1049 together.

Step 1: We'll start by adding the digits 3 & 9 in column 1 and get 12.
We'll write down the last digit 2 and carry the 1 to the next column.

Step 2: We'll start by adding the digits 5 & 4 in column 2 and get 10.
We'll write down the last digit 0 and carry the 1 to the next column.

Step 3: We'll start by adding the digits 6 & 0 in column 3 and get 7.

Step 4: We'll start by adding the digits 5 & 1 in column 4 and get 6.

So, 5653 + 1049 = 6702.
