Video Solution

Solution Steps

00:06 Let's solve this problem together.

00:09 We'll combine the digits in pairs. Ready? Let's go.

00:14 First, add the ones. Ones with ones.

00:17 Place the result in the ones place. And carry one over to the tens.

00:23 Next, add the tens. Don't forget to add the one you carried.

00:28 Place it in the tens spot and carry one over to the hundreds.

00:32 Now, let's add the hundreds, plus the carried one.

00:36 Put that in the hundreds place and carry one to the thousands.

00:41 Finally, add the thousands, and don't forget the carried one.

00:46 Place it in the thousands.

00:49 And that's how we solve this problem. Great job!

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 $\mathbf{9122}$ .
