Step 2: We'll start by adding the digits 7 & 9 in column 2 and get 17.
We'll write down the last digit 7 and carry the 1 to the next column.

Step 3: We'll start by adding the digits 9 & 7 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 0 & 6 in column 4 and get 7.
