Alright, let's solve this problem step by step. We have 6296 and 3861 and we're adding them together.

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

Step 2: We'll start by adding the digits 9 & 6 in column 2 and get 15.
We'll write down the last digit 5 and carry the 1 to the next column.

Step 3: We'll start by adding the digits 2 & 8 in column 3 and get 11.
We'll write down the last digit 1 and carry the 1 to the next column.

Step 4: We'll start by adding the digits 6 & 3 in column 4 and get 10.
We'll write down the last digit 0 and carry the 1 to the next column.

So, 6296 + 3861 = 10157.
