Okay, we are tasked with adding 1590 and 1948. Let's begin!

Step 1: We'll start by adding the digits 0 & 8 in column 1 and get 8.

Step 2: We'll start by adding the digits 9 & 4 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 5 & 9 in column 3 and get 15.
We'll write down the last digit 5 and carry the 1 to the next column.

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

So, 1590 + 1948 = 3538.
