We've got two numbers: 3838 and 1420. Let's find their sum.

Step 1: We'll start by adding the digits 8 & 0 in column 1 and get 8.

Step 2: We'll start by adding the digits 3 & 2 in column 2 and get 5.

Step 3: We'll start by adding the digits 8 & 4 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 3 & 1 in column 4 and get 5.

So, 3838 + 1420 = 5258.
