We have numbers 873 and 221. Let's start adding them together.

Step 1: We'll start by adding the digits 3 & 1 in column 1 and get 4.

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

Step 3: We'll start by adding the digits 8 & 2 in column 3 and get 10.
We'll write down the last digit 0 and carry the 1 to the next column.

So, 873 + 221 = 1094.
