Let's break this down. We're going to add 1204 and 1214 together.

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

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 2 & 2 in column 3 and get 4.

Step 4: We'll start by adding the digits 1 & 1 in column 4 and get 2.

So, 1204 + 1214 = 2418.
