Step 2: We'll start by adding the digits 0 & 6 in column 2 and get 7.

Step 3: We'll start by adding the digits 6 & 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 8 & 2 in column 4 and get 11.
We'll write down the last digit 1 and carry the 1 to the next column.

So, 8608 + 2866 = 11474.
