Ready to do some math? We're starting with 3713 and 8966 and adding them up.

Step 1: We'll start by adding the digits 3 & 6 in column 1 and get 9.

Step 2: We'll start by adding the digits 1 & 6 in column 2 and get 7.

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 3 & 8 in column 4 and get 12.
