We are presented with 79 and 1309. Let's work out the sum.

Step 1: We'll start by adding the digits 9 & 9 in column 1 and get 18.
We'll write down the last digit 8 and carry the 1 to the next column.

Step 2: We'll start by adding the digits 7 & 0 in column 2 and get 8.

Step 3: We'll start by adding the digits 0 & 3 in column 3 and get 3.

Step 4: We'll start by adding the digits 0 & 1 in column 4 and get 1.

So, 79 + 1309 = 1388.
