Let's solve this addition problem. We have 4198 and 4344, and we need to add them together.

Step 1: We'll start by adding the digits 8 & 4 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 & 4 in column 2 and get 14.
We'll write down the last digit 4 and carry the 1 to the next column.

Step 3: We'll start by adding the digits 1 & 3 in column 3 and get 5.

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

So, 4198 + 4344 = 8542.
