We've got two numbers: 9716 and 8239. Let's find their sum.

Step 1: We'll start by adding the digits 6 & 9 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 1 & 3 in column 2 and get 5.

Step 3: We'll start by adding the digits 7 & 2 in column 3 and get 9.

Step 4: We'll start by adding the digits 9 & 8 in column 4 and get 17.
We'll write down the last digit 7 and carry the 1 to the next column.

So, 9716 + 8239 = 17955.
