We've got two numbers: 8197 and 4499. Let's find their sum.

Step 1: We'll start by adding the digits 7 & 9 in column 1 and get 16.
We'll write down the last digit 6 and carry the 1 to the next column.

Step 2: We'll start by adding the digits 9 & 9 in column 2 and get 19.
We'll write down the last digit 9 and carry the 1 to the next column.

Step 3: We'll start by adding the digits 1 & 4 in column 3 and get 6.

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, 8197 + 4499 = 12696.
