We've got two numbers: 31 and 7248. Let's find their sum.

Step 1: We'll start by adding the digits 1 & 8 in column 1 and get 9.

Step 2: We'll start by adding the digits 3 & 4 in column 2 and get 7.

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

Step 4: We'll start by adding the digits 0 & 7 in column 4 and get 7.

So, 31 + 7248 = 7279.
