No problem, let's work through this together. We're starting with 495 and 1253 and adding them all up.

Step 1: We'll start by adding the digits 5 & 3 in column 1 and get 8.

Step 2: We'll start by adding the digits 9 & 5 in column 2 and get 14.
We'll write down the last digit 4 and carry the 1 to the next column.

Step 3: We'll start by adding the digits 4 & 2 in column 3 and get 7.

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

So, 495 + 1253 = 1748.
