Let's break this down. We're going to add 216 and 8008 together.

Step 1: We'll start by adding the digits 6 & 8 in column 1 and get 14.
We'll write down the last digit 4 and carry the 1 to the next column.

Step 2: We'll start by adding the digits 1 & 0 in column 2 and get 2.

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

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

So, 216 + 8008 = 8224.
