We have numbers 2564 and 6914. Let's start adding them together.

Step 1: We'll start by adding the digits 4 & 4 in column 1 and get 8.

Step 2: We'll start by adding the digits 6 & 1 in column 2 and get 7.

Step 3: We'll start by adding the digits 5 & 9 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 2 & 6 in column 4 and get 9.

So, 2564 + 6914 = 9478.
