Alright, let's solve this problem step by step. We have 9396 and 8860 and we're adding them together.

Step 1: We'll start by adding the digits 6 & 0 in column 1 and get 6.

Step 2: We'll start by adding the digits 9 & 6 in column 2 and get 15.
We'll write down the last digit 5 and carry the 1 to the next column.

Step 3: We'll start by adding the digits 3 & 8 in column 3 and get 12.
We'll write down the last digit 2 and carry the 1 to the next column.

Step 4: We'll start by adding the digits 9 & 8 in column 4 and get 18.
We'll write down the last digit 8 and carry the 1 to the next column.

So, 9396 + 8860 = 18256.
