Okay, we are given 4045 and 1009. Let's add them up step by step.

Step 1: We'll start by adding the digits 5 & 9 in column 1 and get 14.
We'll write down the last digit 4 and carry the 1 to the next column.

Step 2: We'll start by adding the digits 4 & 0 in column 2 and get 5.

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

Step 4: We'll start by adding the digits 4 & 1 in column 4 and get 5.

So, 4045 + 1009 = 5054.
