Video Solution

Solution Steps

00:00 Solve

00:03 Each time we consider combining 2 digits, and then we place

00:06 Let's start by combining ones with ones

00:09 Place the ones, add 1 to the tens

00:14 Combine tens with tens, remember to add 1 to the calculation

00:18 Place tens in tens, add 1 to hundreds

00:22 Combine hundreds with hundreds, remember to add 1

00:28 Place hundreds in hundreds, and add 1 to thousands

00:35 Combine thousands with thousands, remember to add 1

00:39 Place in thousands

00:42 And that's the solution to the question

Step-by-Step Solution

To solve this problem, we'll follow these steps:

$\begin{aligned} &6324 \\ +&2798\\ \underline{\phantom{776}} & \\ \end{aligned}$

Step 2: Add the digits in the units place: $4 + 8 = 12$ , write down $2$ , carry over $1$ .

$\begin{aligned} &\phantom{1} \\ &\phantom{3} \;232 \\ \end{aligned}$

Step 3: Add the digits in the tens place: $2 + 9 = 11$ plus carry $1$ makes $12$ . Write down $2$ , carry over $1$ .

$\begin{aligned} &\phantom{1} \\ &\phantom{3} \;32 \\ \end{aligned}$

Step 4: Add the digits in the hundreds place: $3 + 7 = 10$ plus carry $1$ makes $11$ . Write down $1$ , carry over $1$ .

$\begin{aligned} &\phantom{1} \\ &\phantom{2} \;1 \\ \end{aligned}$

Step 5: Add the digits in the thousands place: $6 + 2 = 8$ plus carry $1$ makes $9$ . Write down $9$ .

$\begin{aligned} &\phantom{9}7122 \\ \end{aligned}$

Therefore, the sum of $6324$ and $2798$ is $\mathbf{9122}$ .
