We have numbers 2784 and 2117. Let's start adding them together.

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

Step 2: We'll start by adding the digits 8 & 1 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 7 & 1 in column 3 and get 9.

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

So, 2784 + 2117 = 4901.
