We are presented with 1381 and 7442. Let's work out the sum.

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

Step 2: We'll start by adding the digits 8 & 4 in column 2 and get 12.
We'll write down the last digit 2 and carry the 1 to the next column.

Step 3: We'll start by adding the digits 3 & 4 in column 3 and get 8.

Step 4: We'll start by adding the digits 1 & 7 in column 4 and get 8.

So, 1381 + 7442 = 8823.
