We've got two numbers: 2218 and 1481. Let's find their sum.

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

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

Step 3: We'll start by adding the digits 2 & 4 in column 3 and get 6.

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

So, 2218 + 1481 = 3699.
