Let's break this down. We're going to add 1216 and 524 together.

Step 1: We'll start by adding the digits 6 & 4 in column 1 and get 10.
We'll write down the last digit 0 and carry the 1 to the next column.

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

Step 3: We'll start by adding the digits 2 & 5 in column 3 and get 7.

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

So, 1216 + 524 = 1740.
