Calculate the Sum: 716 + 427 in Vertical Format

To solve this problem, we'll perform vertical addition:

• Step 1: Add the units digits $6$ and $7$.
• $6 + 7 = 13$
• Place $3$ in the units place and carry over $1$ to the tens place.


• Step 2: Add the tens digits plus any carryover: $1$ (carry) + $1$ (from 716) + $2$ (from 427).
• $1 + 1 + 2 = 4$
• Place $4$ in the tens place.


• Step 3: Add the hundreds digits plus any carryover: $7$ (from 716) + $4$ (from 427).
• $7 + 4 = 11$
• Place $1$ in the hundreds place and carry over another $1$ to the next higher place value (thousands).


• Step 4: Place the carryover in the thousands place.
• This gives a final number, arranged as $\underline{1143}$.

Therefore, the solution to the problem is $1143$.
