Let's solve this addition problem. We have 8608 and 4237, and we need to add them together.

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

Step 2: We'll start by adding the digits 0 & 3 in column 2 and get 4.

Step 3: We'll start by adding the digits 6 & 2 in column 3 and get 8.

Step 4: We'll start by adding the digits 8 & 4 in column 4 and get 12.
We'll write down the last digit 2 and carry the 1 to the next column.

So, 8608 + 4237 = 12845.
