We have numbers 4789 and 2908. Let's start adding them together.

Step 1: We'll start by adding the digits 9 & 8 in column 1 and get 17.
We'll write down the last digit 7 and carry the 1 to the next column.

Step 2: We'll start by adding the digits 8 & 0 in column 2 and get 9.

Step 3: We'll start by adding the digits 7 & 9 in column 3 and get 16.
We'll write down the last digit 6 and carry the 1 to the next column.

Step 4: We'll start by adding the digits 4 & 2 in column 4 and get 7.

So, 4789 + 2908 = 7697.
