Let's break this down. We're going to add 492 and 793 together.

Step 1: We'll start by adding the digits 2 & 3 in column 1 and get 5.

Step 2: We'll start by adding the digits 9 & 9 in column 2 and get 18.
We'll write down the last digit 8 and carry the 1 to the next column.

Step 3: We'll start by adding the digits 4 & 7 in column 3 and get 12.
We'll write down the last digit 2 and carry the 1 to the next column.

So, 492 + 793 = 1285.
