We have numbers 2041 and 9812. Let's start adding them together.

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

Step 2: We'll start by adding the digits 4 & 1 in column 2 and get 5.

Step 3: We'll start by adding the digits 0 & 8 in column 3 and get 8.

Step 4: We'll start by adding the digits 2 & 9 in column 4 and get 11.
We'll write down the last digit 1 and carry the 1 to the next column.

So, 2041 + 9812 = 11853.
