We've got two numbers: 9924 and 7852. Let's find their sum.

Step 1: We'll start by adding the digits 4 & 2 in column 1 and get 6.

Step 2: We'll start by adding the digits 2 & 5 in column 2 and get 7.

Step 3: We'll start by adding the digits 9 & 8 in column 3 and get 17.
We'll write down the last digit 7 and carry the 1 to the next column.

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

So, 9924 + 7852 = 17776.
