We have numbers 1492 and 8472. Let's start adding them together.

Step 1: We'll start by adding the digits 2 & 2 in column 1 and get 4.

Step 2: We'll start by adding the digits 9 & 7 in column 2 and get 16.
We'll write down the last digit 6 and carry the 1 to the next column.

Step 3: We'll start by adding the digits 4 & 4 in column 3 and get 9.

Step 4: We'll start by adding the digits 1 & 8 in column 4 and get 9.

So, 1492 + 8472 = 9964.
