We have numbers 6538 and 3880. Let's start adding them together.

Step 1: We'll start by adding the digits 8 & 0 in column 1 and get 8.

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

Step 3: We'll start by adding the digits 5 & 8 in column 3 and get 14.
We'll write down the last digit 4 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, 6538 + 3880 = 10418.
