We've got two numbers: 1233 and 538. Let's find their sum.

Step 1: We'll start by adding the digits 3 & 8 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 3 & 3 in column 2 and get 7.

Step 3: We'll start by adding the digits 2 & 5 in column 3 and get 7.

Step 4: We'll start by adding the digits 1 & 0 in column 4 and get 1.

So, 1233 + 538 = 1771.
