Here we go! We're going to add 7043 and 261 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 4 & 6 in column 2 and get 10.
We'll write down the last digit 0 and carry the 1 to the next column.

Step 3: We'll start by adding the digits 0 & 2 in column 3 and get 3.

Step 4: We'll start by adding the digits 7 & 0 in column 4 and get 7.
