We've got two numbers: 8204 and 1223. Let's find their sum.

Step 1: We'll start by adding the digits 4 & 3 in column 1 and get 7.

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

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

Step 4: We'll start by adding the digits 8 & 1 in column 4 and get 9.

So, 8204 + 1223 = 9427.
