We are presented with 618 and 8428. Let's work out the sum.

Step 1: We'll start by adding the digits 8 & 8 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 1 & 2 in column 2 and get 4.

Step 3: We'll start by adding the digits 6 & 4 in column 3 and get 10.
We'll write down the last digit 0 and carry the 1 to the next column.

Step 4: We'll start by adding the digits 0 & 8 in column 4 and get 9.

So, 618 + 8428 = 9046.
