We have numbers 2101 and 2890. Let's start adding them together.

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

Step 2: We'll start by adding the digits 0 & 9 in column 2 and get 9.

Step 3: We'll start by adding the digits 1 & 8 in column 3 and get 9.

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