Solve Vertical Addition: 456 + 4 Step-by-Step

Video Solution

Solution Steps

00:05 Let's solve this problem together!

00:08 We'll combine two digits at a time. Ready?

00:11 First, combine the ones places.

00:14 Place the sum in the ones column. Carry over one to the tens.

00:19 Put zero in any empty spots.

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

00:28 Place any zeros where needed.

00:30 Finally, combine the hundreds and place the result in the hundreds column.

00:37 Great job! That's how we solve this problem.

Step-by-Step Solution

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

Step 1: Align the numbers vertically based on their place values:
$456$
+ $004$
$\underline{\phantom{457}}$
Step 2: Start adding from the rightmost column (units place):
6 (from 456) + 4 = 10.
The result is 10, so we place 0 in the units place under the line, and carry over 1 to the next column (tens place).
Step 3: Move to the tens place, including the carry over:
5 (from 456) + 0 (from 004) + 1 (carry over) = 6.
Place 6 in the tens place under the line.
Step 4: Move to the hundreds place:
4 (from 456) + 0 = 4.
Place 4 in the hundreds place under the line.

The complete sum would look like this:
$456$
+ $004$
$\phantom{460} \underline{460}$

Therefore, the solution to the problem is $460$ , which corresponds to choice 4.
