We've got two numbers: 5171 and 8512. Let's find their sum.

Step 1: We'll start by adding the digits 1 & 2 in column 1 and get 3.

Step 2: We'll start by adding the digits 7 & 1 in column 2 and get 8.

Step 3: We'll start by adding the digits 1 & 5 in column 3 and get 6.

Step 4: We'll start by adding the digits 5 & 8 in column 4 and get 13.
We'll write down the last digit 3 and carry the 1 to the next column.

So, 5171 + 8512 = 13683.
