We have numbers 1185 and 8694. Let's start adding them together.

Step 1: We'll start by adding the digits 5 & 4 in column 1 and get 9.

Step 2: We'll start by adding the digits 8 & 9 in column 2 and get 17.
We'll write down the last digit 7 and carry the 1 to the next column.

Step 3: We'll start by adding the digits 1 & 6 in column 3 and get 8.

Step 4: We'll start by adding the digits 1 & 8 in column 4 and get 9.

So, 1185 + 8694 = 9879.
