We've got two numbers: 2427 and 509. Let's find their sum.

Step 1: We'll start by adding the digits 7 & 9 in column 1 and get 16.
We'll write down the last digit 6 and carry the 1 to the next column.

Step 2: We'll start by adding the digits 2 & 0 in column 2 and get 3.

Step 3: We'll start by adding the digits 4 & 5 in column 3 and get 9.

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

So, 2427 + 509 = 2936.
