We have numbers 3903 and 1709. Let's start adding them together.

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

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

Step 3: We'll start by adding the digits 9 & 7 in column 3 and get 16.
We'll write down the last digit 6 and carry the 1 to the next column.

Step 4: We'll start by adding the digits 3 & 1 in column 4 and get 5.

So, 3903 + 1709 = 5612.
