Let's break this down. We're going to add 2940 and 5226 together.

Step 1: We'll start by adding the digits 0 & 6 in column 1 and get 6.

Step 2: We'll start by adding the digits 4 & 2 in column 2 and get 6.

Step 3: We'll start by adding the digits 9 & 2 in column 3 and get 11.
We'll write down the last digit 1 and carry the 1 to the next column.
