To solve the problem effectively, we will follow a systematic approach:
Let's work through these steps with the given numbers:
Units Column (far right): 5 (from 36715) + 2 (from 45192) = 7
Tens Column: 1 (from 36715) + 9 (from 45192) = 10 Write down 0, and carry over 1.
Hundreds Column: 7 (from 36715) + 1 (carry) + 1 (from 45192) = 9
Thousands Column: 6 (from 36715) + 5 (from 45192) = 11 Write down 1, and carry over 1.
Tens of Thousands Column: 3 (from 36715) + 4 (from 45192) + 1 (carry) = 8
Thus, the sum is:
Therefore, the solution to the problem is .

\( \begin{aligned} &12 \\ +& \\ &~~2 \\ &\underline{\phantom{776}} & \\ \end{aligned} \)
When adding a column gives you 10 or more, you write down the units digit and carry the tens digit to the next column. For example: 7 + 5 = 12, so write 2 and carry 1.
Proper alignment ensures you're adding like place values together - units with units, tens with tens, etc. Misalignment leads to completely wrong answers!
Your final answer will be wrong! Always double-check each column to make sure you've included any carry from the column to the right.
Try these methods:
When the leftmost column produces a carry, it becomes a new leftmost digit in your answer. For example: 9999 + 1 = 10000 (the carry becomes the new ten-thousands place).
