Adding 4-Digit Numbers: Learn

How to add three-digit numbers (for example 4529 + 6733).
  • Place one number above the other so that the thousands', hundreds', tens' and ones' places are lined up. Draw a line under the bottom number.
    4 5 2 9
    + 6 7 3 3
  • Add the ones place digits (9 + 3 = 12). This number is larger than 10 so place a one above the tens place column and place the two below the line in the ones place column.
