Step 2: We'll start by adding the digits 4 & 4 in column 2 and get 8.

Step 3: We'll start by adding the digits 7 & 8 in column 3 and get 15.
We'll write down the last digit 5 and carry the 1 to the next column.

Step 4: We'll start by adding the digits 5 & 5 in column 4 and get 11.
We'll write down the last digit 1 and carry the 1 to the next column.
