Step 2: We'll start by adding the digits 0 & 1 in column 2 and get 1.

Step 3: We'll start by adding the digits 4 & 7 in column 3 and get 11.
We'll write down the last digit 1 and carry the 1 to the next column.

Step 4: We'll start by adding the digits 4 & 6 in column 4 and get 11.
We'll write down the last digit 1 and carry the 1 to the next column.
