To perform the operation, we add the two numbers in base 29 using column addition. Starting from the rightmost digit, we have:

B + 1 = C (no carry)
C + B = 1D (no carry)
D + 7 = 14 (carry 1)
F + B = 18 (no carry)
B + 8 = 13 (no carry)
E + 9 = 17 (no carry)
E + 2 = 10 (carry 1)
1 + 2 = 3 (no carry)
2 + 9 = B (no carry)
1 + 1 = 2 (no carry)
1 + 1 = 2 (no carry)

Therefore, AB = 11ebb17b_29fb_bee5_afdc_27e1d67a7d2f_TB8591_11. To add two numbers in base 16, we start by adding the rightmost digits. In this case, they are both B, which is 11 in decimal. The sum is 22, which is 16+6. So, we write down the 6 and carry 1 to the next column. Moving left, we add the next digits with the carried 1. The sum is E+1+E, which is 1C in decimal. So, we write down C and carry 1 again. Continuing in this way, we get the sum 11ebb17b_29fb_bee5_afdc_27e1d67a7d2f_TB8591_11.
