We are presented with 2428 and 243. Let's work out the sum.

Step 1: We'll start by adding the digits 8 & 3 in column 1 and get 11.
We'll write down the last digit 1 and carry the 1 to the next column.

Step 2: We'll start by adding the digits 2 & 4 in column 2 and get 7.

Step 3: We'll start by adding the digits 4 & 2 in column 3 and get 6.

Step 4: We'll start by adding the digits 2 & 0 in column 4 and get 2.

So, 2428 + 243 = 2671.
