Alright, let's solve this problem step by step. We have 1622 and 97 and we're adding them together.

Step 1: We'll start by adding the digits 2 & 7 in column 1 and get 9.

Step 2: We'll start by adding the digits 2 & 9 in column 2 and get 11.
We'll write down the last digit 1 and carry the 1 to the next column.

Step 3: We'll start by adding the digits 6 & 0 in column 3 and get 7.

Step 4: We'll start by adding the digits 1 & 0 in column 4 and get 1.

So, 1622 + 97 = 1719.
