We have numbers 1872 and 3701. Let's start adding them together.

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

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

Step 3: We'll start by adding the digits 8 & 7 in column 3 and get 15.
We'll write down the last digit 5 and carry the 1 to the next column.

Step 4: We'll start by adding the digits 1 & 3 in column 4 and get 5.

So, 1872 + 3701 = 5573.
