We have numbers 1437 and 1742. Let's start adding them together.

Step 1: We'll start by adding the digits 7 & 2 in column 1 and get 9.

Step 2: We'll start by adding the digits 3 & 4 in column 2 and get 7.

Step 3: We'll start by adding the digits 4 & 7 in column 3 and get 11.
We'll write down the last digit 1 and carry the 1 to the next column.

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

So, 1437 + 1742 = 3179.
