OK, let's do this. We've got 9618 and 5238 and we're adding them all together.

Step 1: We'll start by adding the digits 8 & 8 in column 1 and get 16.
We'll write down the last digit 6 and carry the 1 to the next column.

Step 2: We'll start by adding the digits 1 & 3 in column 2 and get 5.

Step 3: We'll start by adding the digits 6 & 2 in column 3 and get 8.

Step 4: We'll start by adding the digits 9 & 5 in column 4 and get 14.
We'll write down the last digit 4 and carry the 1 to the next column.

So, 9618 + 5238 = 14856.
