Let's solve this addition problem. We have 8098 and 5596, and we need to add them together.

Step 1: We'll start by adding the digits 8 & 6 in column 1 and get 14.
We'll write down the last digit 4 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 0 & 5 in column 3 and get 6.

Step 4: We'll start by adding the digits 8 & 5 in column 4 and get 13.
We'll write down the last digit 3 and carry the 1 to the next column.

So, 8098 + 5596 = 13694.
