We have numbers 8577 and 8236. Let's start adding them together.

Step 1: We'll start by adding the digits 7 & 6 in column 1 and get 13.
We'll write down the last digit 3 and carry the 1 to the next column.

Step 2: We'll start by adding the digits 7 & 3 in column 2 and get 11.
We'll write down the last digit 1 and carry the 1 to the next column.

Step 3: We'll start by adding the digits 5 & 2 in column 3 and get 8.

Step 4: We'll start by adding the digits 8 & 8 in column 4 and get 16.
We'll write down the last digit 6 and carry the 1 to the next column.

So, 8577 + 8236 = 16813.
