Okay, we are tasked with adding 478 and 896. Let's begin!

Step 1: We'll start by adding the digits 8 & 6 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 7 & 9 in column 2 and get 17.
We'll write down the last digit 7 and carry the 1 to the next column.

Step 3: We'll start by adding the digits 4 & 8 in column 3 and get 13.
We'll write down the last digit 3 and carry the 1 to the next column.

So, 478 + 896 = 1374.
