We have numbers 9478 and 8340. Let's start adding them together.

Step 1: We'll start by adding the digits 8 & 0 in column 1 and get 8.

Step 2: We'll start by adding the digits 7 & 4 in column 2 and get 11.
We'll write down the last digit 1 and carry the 1 to the next column.

Step 3: We'll start by adding the digits 4 & 3 in column 3 and get 8.

Step 4: We'll start by adding the digits 9 & 8 in column 4 and get 17.
We'll write down the last digit 7 and carry the 1 to the next column.

So, 9478 + 8340 = 17818.
