We've got two numbers: 872 and 1619. Let's find their sum.

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

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

Step 3: We'll start by adding the digits 8 & 6 in column 3 and get 14.
We'll write down the last digit 4 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, 872 + 1619 = 2491.
