We are presented with 142 and 4870. Let's work out the sum.

Step 1: We'll start by adding the digits 2 & 0 in column 1 and get 2.

Step 2: We'll start by adding the digits 4 & 7 in column 2 and get 11.
We'll write down the last digit 1 and carry the 1 to the next column.

Step 3: We'll start by adding the digits 1 & 8 in column 3 and get 10.
We'll write down the last digit 0 and carry the 1 to the next column.

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

So, 142 + 4870 = 5012.
