We've got two numbers: 2163 and 6299. Let's find their sum.

Step 1: We'll start by adding the digits 3 & 9 in column 1 and get 12.
We'll write down the last digit 2 and carry the 1 to the next column.

Step 2: We'll start by adding the digits 6 & 9 in column 2 and get 16.
We'll write down the last digit 6 and carry the 1 to the next column.

Step 3: We'll start by adding the digits 1 & 2 in column 3 and get 4.

Step 4: We'll start by adding the digits 2 & 6 in column 4 and get 8.

So, 2163 + 6299 = 8462.
