We've got two numbers: 2642 and 5096. Let's find their sum.

Step 1: We'll start by adding the digits 2 & 6 in column 1 and get 8.

Step 2: We'll start by adding the digits 4 & 9 in column 2 and get 13.
We'll write down the last digit 3 and carry the 1 to the next column.

Step 3: We'll start by adding the digits 6 & 0 in column 3 and get 7.

Step 4: We'll start by adding the digits 2 & 5 in column 4 and get 7.

So, 2642 + 5096 = 7738.
