Let's break this down. We're going to add 1403 and 9711 together.

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

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

Step 3: We'll start by adding the digits 4 & 7 in column 3 and get 11.
We'll write down the last digit 1 and carry the 1 to the next column.

Step 4: We'll start by adding the digits 1 & 9 in column 4 and get 11.
We'll write down the last digit 1 and carry the 1 to the next column.

So, 1403 + 9711 = 11114.
