Okay, we are tasked with adding 142 and 1903. Let's begin!

Step 1: We'll start by adding the digits 2 & 3 in column 1 and get 5.

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

Step 3: We'll start by adding the digits 1 & 9 in column 3 and get 10.
We'll write down the last digit 0 and carry the 1 to the next column.

Step 4: We'll start by adding the digits 0 & 1 in column 4 and get 2.

So, 142 + 1903 = 2045.
