Okay, we are tasked with adding 272 and 9692. Let's begin!

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

Step 2: We'll start by adding the digits 7 & 9 in column 2 and get 16.
We'll write down the last digit 6 and carry the 1 to the next column.

Step 3: We'll start by adding the digits 2 & 6 in column 3 and get 9.

Step 4: We'll start by adding the digits 0 & 9 in column 4 and get 9.

So, 272 + 9692 = 9964.
