Okay, we are tasked with adding 17 and 1169. Let's begin!

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

Step 2: We'll start by adding the digits 1 & 6 in column 2 and get 8.

Step 3: We'll start by adding the digits 0 & 1 in column 3 and get 1.

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

So, 17 + 1169 = 1186.
