We are presented with 1726 and 2018. Let's work out the sum.

Step 1: We'll start by adding the digits 6 & 8 in column 1 and get 14.
We'll write down the last digit 4 and carry the 1 to the next column.

Step 2: We'll start by adding the digits 2 & 1 in column 2 and get 4.

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

Step 4: We'll start by adding the digits 1 & 2 in column 4 and get 3.

So, 1726 + 2018 = 3744.
