Ready to do some math? We're starting with 1980 and 2018 and adding them up.

Step 1: We'll start by adding the digits 0 & 8 in column 1 and get 8.

Step 2: We'll start by adding the digits 8 & 1 in column 2 and get 9.

Step 3: We'll start by adding the digits 9 & 0 in column 3 and get 9.

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

So, 1980 + 2018 = 3998.
