We've got two numbers: 1042 and 9620. Let's find their sum.

Step 1: We'll start by adding the digits 2 & 0 in column 1 and get 2.

Step 2: We'll start by adding the digits 4 & 2 in column 2 and get 6.

Step 3: We'll start by adding the digits 0 & 6 in column 3 and get 6.

Step 4: We'll start by adding the digits 1 & 9 in column 4 and get 10.
We'll write down the last digit 0 and carry the 1 to the next column.

So, 1042 + 9620 = 10662.
