Okay, we are tasked with adding 2480 and 5272. Let's begin!

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

Step 2: We'll start by adding the digits 8 & 7 in column 2 and get 15.
We'll write down the last digit 5 and carry the 1 to the next column.

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

Step 4: We'll start by adding the digits 2 & 5 in column 4 and get 7.

So, 2480 + 5272 = 7752.
