Addition of Four Digits Numbers without Carry Over
Following are the steps used in this type of addition.
For example: addition of 4784 and 3214.
Step 1: Add ones 4 + 4 = 8. Write 8 under ones column.
Step 2: Add tens 8 + 1 = 9. Write 9 under tens column.
Step 3: Add hundreds 7 + 2 = 9. Write 9 under hundreds column.
Step 4: Add thousands 4 + 3 = 7. Write 7 under thousands column.

For example addition of 7569 and 5984.
Step 1: Add ones, 9 + 4 = 13 = 1 tens + 3 ones. Write 3 under ones column and carry one tens to the tens column.
Step 2: Add tens, 6 + 8 + 1 (carry over) = 15 tens = 1 hundred + 5 tens.
Write 5 under tens column and carry 1 hundred to the hundreds column.
Step 3: 1 thousand 5+9+1 (carry over) =15 hundreds.
