Let's solve this addition problem. We have 4362 and 1978, and we need to add them together.

Step 1: We'll start by adding the digits 2 & 8 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 6 & 7 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 3 & 9 in column 3 and get 13.
We'll write down the last digit 3 and carry the 1 to the next column.

Step 4: We'll start by adding the digits 4 & 1 in column 4 and get 6.

So, 4362 + 1978 = 6340.
