Okay, we are given 2404 and 9901. Let's add them up step by step.

Step 1: We'll start by adding the digits 4 & 1 in column 1 and get 5.

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

Step 3: We'll start by adding the digits 4 & 9 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 2 & 9 in column 4 and get 12.
We'll write down the last digit 2 and carry the 1 to the next column.

So, 2404 + 9901 = 12305.
