We've got two numbers: 227 and 3457. Let's find their sum.

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 2 & 5 in column 2 and get 8.

Step 3: We'll start by adding the digits 2 & 4 in column 3 and get 6.

Step 4: We'll start by adding the digits 0 & 3 in column 4 and get 3.

So, 227 + 3457 = 3684.
