No problem, let's work through this together. We're starting with 9436 and 7262 and adding them all up.

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 & 6 in column 2 and get 9.

Step 3: We'll start by adding the digits 4 & 2 in column 3 and get 6.

Step 4: We'll start by adding the digits 9 & 7 in column 4 and get 16.
We'll write down the last digit 6 and carry the 1 to the next column.

So, 9436 + 7262 = 16698.
