We are presented with 8836 and 983. Let's work out the sum.

Step 1: We'll start by adding the digits 6 & 3 in column 1 and get 9.

Step 2: We'll start by adding the digits 3 & 8 in column 2 and get 11.
We'll write down the last digit 1 and carry the 1 to the next column.

Step 3: We'll start by adding the digits 8 & 9 in column 3 and get 18.
We'll write down the last digit 8 and carry the 1 to the next column.

Step 4: We'll start by adding the digits 8 & 0 in column 4 and get 9.

So, 8836 + 983 = 9819.
