OK, let's do this. We've got 9796 and 6581 and we're adding them all together.

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 9 & 8 in column 2 and get 17.
We'll write down the last digit 7 and carry the 1 to the next column.

Step 3: We'll start by adding the digits 7 & 5 in column 3 and get 13.
We'll write down the last digit 3 and carry the 1 to the next column.

Step 4: We'll start by adding the digits 9 & 6 in column 4 and get 16.
We'll write down the last digit 6 and carry the 1 to the next column.

So, 9796 + 6581 = 16377.
