We've got two numbers: 2436 and 7552. Let's find their sum.

Step 1: We'll start by adding the digits 6 & 2 in column 1 and get 8.

Step 2: We'll start by adding the digits 3 & 5 in column 2 and get 8.

Step 3: We'll start by adding the digits 4 & 5 in column 3 and get 9.

Step 4: We'll start by adding the digits 2 & 7 in column 4 and get 9.

So, 2436 + 7552 = 9988.
