Okay, we are given 8601 and 7230. Let's add them up step by step.

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

Step 2: We'll start by adding the digits 0 & 3 in column 2 and get 3.

Step 3: We'll start by adding the digits 6 & 2 in column 3 and get 8.

Step 4: We'll start by adding the digits 8 & 7 in column 4 and get 15.
We'll write down the last digit 5 and carry the 1 to the next column.

So, 8601 + 7230 = 15831.
