Ready to do some math? We're starting with 9700 and 471 and adding them up.

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

Step 2: We'll start by adding the digits 0 & 7 in column 2 and get 7.

Step 3: We'll start by adding the digits 7 & 4 in column 3 and get 11.
We'll write down the last digit 1 and carry the 1 to the next column.

Step 4: We'll start by adding the digits 9 & 0 in column 4 and get 10.
We'll write down the last digit 0 and carry the 1 to the next column.

So, 9700 + 471 = 10171.
