We've got two numbers: 2429 and 1053. Let's find their sum.

Step 1: We'll start by adding the digits 9 & 3 in column 1 and get 12.
We'll write down the last digit 2 and carry the 1 to the next column.

Step 2: We'll start by adding the digits 2 & 5 in column 2 and get 8.

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

Step 4: We'll start by adding the digits 2 & 1 in column 4 and get 3.

So, 2429 + 1053 = 3482.
