Addition Problem: Calculate 6324 + 2798 Using Column Method

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

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

• Step 1: Set up the numbers for vertical addition:

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

• 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 $\mathbf{9122}$.
