We've got two numbers: 4694 and 7138. Let's find their sum.

Step 1: We'll start by adding the digits 4 & 8 in column 1 and get 12.
We'll write down the last digit 2 and carry the 1 to the next column.

Step 2: We'll start by adding the digits 9 & 3 in column 2 and get 13.
We'll write down the last digit 3 and carry the 1 to the next column.

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

Step 4: We'll start by adding the digits 4 & 7 in column 4 and get 11.
We'll write down the last digit 1 and carry the 1 to the next column.

So, 4694 + 7138 = 11832.
