We've got two numbers: 604 and 398. Let's find their sum.

Step 1: We'll start by adding the digits 4 & 8 in column 1 and get 12.
We'll write down the last digit 2 and carry the 1 to the next column.

Step 2: We'll start by adding the digits 0 & 9 in column 2 and get 10.
We'll write down the last digit 0 and carry the 1 to the next column.

Step 3: We'll start by adding the digits 6 & 3 in column 3 and get 10.
We'll write down the last digit 0 and carry the 1 to the next column.

So, 604 + 398 = 1002.
