Okay, we are tasked with adding 9806 and 8181. Let's begin!

Step 1: We'll start by adding the digits 6 & 1 in column 1 and get 7.

Step 2: We'll start by adding the digits 0 & 8 in column 2 and get 8.

Step 3: We'll start by adding the digits 8 & 1 in column 3 and get 9.

Step 4: We'll start by adding the digits 9 & 8 in column 4 and get 17.
We'll write down the last digit 7 and carry the 1 to the next column.

So, 9806 + 8181 = 17987.
