We've got two numbers: 9097 and 2301. Let's find their sum.

Step 1: We'll start by adding the digits 7 & 1 in column 1 and get 8.

Step 2: We'll start by adding the digits 9 & 0 in column 2 and get 9.

Step 3: We'll start by adding the digits 0 & 3 in column 3 and get 3.

Step 4: We'll start by adding the digits 9 & 2 in column 4 and get 11.
We'll write down the last digit 1 and carry the 1 to the next column.

So, 9097 + 2301 = 11398.
