We have numbers 873 and 4705. Let's start adding them together.

Step 1: We'll start by adding the digits 3 & 5 in column 1 and get 8.

Step 2: We'll start by adding the digits 7 & 0 in column 2 and get 7.

Step 3: We'll start by adding the digits 8 & 7 in column 3 and get 15.
We'll write down the last digit 5 and carry the 1 to the next column.

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

So, 873 + 4705 = 5578.
