Okay, we are given 2470 and 7493. Let's add them up step by step.

Step 1: We'll start by adding the digits 0 & 3 in column 1 and get 3.

Step 2: We'll start by adding the digits 7 & 9 in column 2 and get 16.
We'll write down the last digit 6 and carry the 1 to the next column.

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

Step 4: We'll start by adding the digits 2 & 7 in column 4 and get 9.
