Okay, we are tasked with adding 6535 and 6261. Let's begin!

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 3 & 6 in column 2 and get 9.

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

Step 4: We'll start by adding the digits 6 & 6 in column 4 and get 12.
We'll write down the last digit 2 and carry the 1 to the next column.

So, 6535 + 6261 = 12796.
