Let's break this down. We're going to add 2047 and 472 together.

Step 1: We'll start by adding the digits 7 & 2 in column 1 and get 9.

Step 2: We'll start by adding the digits 4 & 7 in column 2 and get 11.
We'll write down the last digit 1 and carry the 1 to the next column.

Step 3: We'll start by adding the digits 0 & 4 in column 3 and get 5.

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

So, 2047 + 472 = 2519.
