We are presented with 1043 and 1487. Let's work out the sum.

Step 1: We'll start by adding the digits 3 & 7 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 4 & 8 in column 2 and get 13.
We'll write down the last digit 3 and carry the 1 to the next column.

Step 3: We'll start by adding the digits 0 & 4 in column 3 and get 5.

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

So, 1043 + 1487 = 2530.
