We are presented with 8717 and 1380. Let's work out the sum.

Step 1: We'll start by adding the digits 7 & 0 in column 1 and get 7.

Step 2: We'll start by adding the digits 1 & 8 in column 2 and get 9.

Step 3: We'll start by adding the digits 7 & 3 in column 3 and get 10.
We'll write down the last digit 0 and carry the 1 to the next column.

Step 4: We'll start by adding the digits 8 & 1 in column 4 and get 10.
We'll write down the last digit 0 and carry the 1 to the next column.

So, 8717 + 1380 = 10097.
