Okay, we are given 2147 and 157. Let's add them up step by step.

Step 1: We'll start by adding the digits 7 & 7 in column 1 and get 14.
We'll write down the last digit 4 and carry the 1 to the next column.

Step 2: We'll start by adding the digits 4 & 5 in column 2 and get 10.
We'll write down the last digit 0 and carry the 1 to the next column.

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

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