We are presented with 2249 and 74. Let's work out the sum.

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

Step 2: We'll start by adding the digits 4 & 7 in column 2 and get 12.
We'll write down the last digit 2 and carry the 1 to the next column.

Step 3: We'll start by adding the digits 2 & 0 in column 3 and get 3.

Step 4: We'll start by adding the digits 2 & 0 in column 4 and get 2.
