We have numbers 1401 and 3693. Let's start adding them together.

Step 1: We'll start by adding the digits 1 & 3 in column 1 and get 4.

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

Step 3: We'll start by adding the digits 4 & 6 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 1 & 3 in column 4 and get 5.

So, 1401 + 3693 = 5094.
