We have numbers 9836 and 5472. Let's start adding them together.

Step 1: We'll start by adding the digits 6 & 2 in column 1 and get 8.

Step 2: We'll start by adding the digits 3 & 7 in column 2 and get 10.
We'll write down the last digit 0 and carry the 1 to the next column.

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

Step 4: We'll start by adding the digits 9 & 5 in column 4 and get 15.
We'll write down the last digit 5 and carry the 1 to the next column.

So, 9836 + 5472 = 15308.
