We've got two numbers: 1357 and 2454. Let's find their sum.

Step 1: We'll start by adding the digits 7 & 4 in column 1 and get 11.
We'll write down the last digit 1 and carry the 1 to the next column.

Step 2: We'll start by adding the digits 5 & 5 in column 2 and get 11.
We'll write down the last digit 1 and carry the 1 to the next column.

Step 3: We'll start by adding the digits 3 & 4 in column 3 and get 8.

Step 4: We'll start by adding the digits 1 & 2 in column 4 and get 3.

So, 1357 + 2454 = 3811.
