We've got two numbers: 1718 and 8270. Let's find their sum.

Step 1: We'll start by adding the digits 8 & 0 in column 1 and get 8.

Step 2: We'll start by adding the digits 1 & 7 in column 2 and get 8.

Step 3: We'll start by adding the digits 7 & 2 in column 3 and get 9.

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

So, 1718 + 8270 = 9988.
