We are presented with 8176 and 281. Let's work out the sum.

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

Step 2: We'll start by adding the digits 7 & 8 in column 2 and get 15.
We'll write down the last digit 5 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 8 & 0 in column 4 and get 8.

So, 8176 + 281 = 8457.
