We've got two numbers: 9490 and 8602. Let's find their sum.

Step 1: We'll start by adding the digits 0 & 2 in column 1 and get 2.

Step 2: We'll start by adding the digits 9 & 0 in column 2 and get 9.

Step 3: We'll start by adding the digits 4 & 6 in column 3 and get 10.
We'll write down the last digit 0 and carry the 1 to the next column.

Step 4: We'll start by adding the digits 9 & 8 in column 4 and get 18.
We'll write down the last digit 8 and carry the 1 to the next column.

So, 9490 + 8602 = 18092.
