We've got two numbers: 4238 and 9946. Let's find their sum.

Step 1: We'll start by adding the digits 8 & 6 in column 1 and get 14.
We'll write down the last digit 4 and carry the 1 to the next column.

Step 2: We'll start by adding the digits 3 & 4 in column 2 and get 8.

Step 3: We'll start by adding the digits 2 & 9 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 4 & 9 in column 4 and get 14.
We'll write down the last digit 4 and carry the 1 to the next column.

So, 4238 + 9946 = 14184.
