We have numbers 7162 and 3538. Let's start adding them together.

Step 1: We'll start by adding the digits 2 & 8 in column 1 and get 10.
We'll write down the last digit 0 and carry the 1 to the next column.

Step 2: We'll start by adding the digits 6 & 3 in column 2 and get 10.
We'll write down the last digit 0 and carry the 1 to the next column.

Step 3: We'll start by adding the digits 1 & 5 in column 3 and get 7.

Step 4: We'll start by adding the digits 7 & 3 in column 4 and get 10.
We'll write down the last digit 0 and carry the 1 to the next column.

So, 7162 + 3538 = 10700.
