We've got two numbers: 9766 and 1612. Let's find their sum.

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 6 & 1 in column 2 and get 7.

Step 3: We'll start by adding the digits 7 & 6 in column 3 and get 13.
We'll write down the last digit 3 and carry the 1 to the next column.

Step 4: We'll start by adding the digits 9 & 1 in column 4 and get 11.
We'll write down the last digit 1 and carry the 1 to the next column.

So, 9766 + 1612 = 11378.
