Okay, we are given 4940 and 8053. Let's add them up step by step.

Step 1: We'll start by adding the digits 0 & 3 in column 1 and get 3.

Step 2: We'll start by adding the digits 4 & 5 in column 2 and get 9.

Step 3: We'll start by adding the digits 9 & 0 in column 3 and get 9.

Step 4: We'll start by adding the digits 4 & 8 in column 4 and get 12.
We'll write down the last digit 2 and carry the 1 to the next column.
