We are presented with 8173 and 867. Let's work out the sum.

Step 1: We'll start by adding the digits 3 & 7 in column 1 and get 10.
We'll write down the last digit 0 and carry the 1 to the next column.

Step 2: We'll start by adding the digits 7 & 6 in column 2 and get 14.
We'll write down the last digit 4 and carry the 1 to the next column.

Step 3: We'll start by adding the digits 1 & 8 in column 3 and get 10.
We'll write down the last digit 0 and carry the 1 to the next column.

Step 4: We'll start by adding the digits 8 & 0 in column 4 and get 9.

So, 8173 + 867 = 9040.
