Addition with larger numbers involves adding numbers that are bigger than the ones you used before, such as numbers with two or more digits. You can use the same basic method of addition, but with larger numbers, it’s helpful to break the process into steps. This is often called column addition or carrying over (when the sum of a column is more than 9).

Here’s how you can do it:

• Write the numbers vertically, with each digit in the correct column (ones, tens, hundreds, etc.).
• Add the digits starting from the rightmost column (ones place), moving left.
• If the sum of a column is more than 9, carry over the extra value to the next column on the left.

Examples:

Example 1:
Problem: Add 247 + 365.
Solution:

        247
      + 365
      ------
    

Start with the ones place (7 + 5 = 12). Write down 2 and carry over 1.
Now add the tens place (4 + 6 + 1 = 11). Write down 1 and carry over 1.
Finally, add the hundreds place (2 + 3 + 1 = 6).
So, the answer is 612.

Example 2:
Problem: Add 1246 + 879.
Solution:

        1246
      +  879
      ------
    

Start with the ones place (6 + 9 = 15). Write down 5 and carry over 1.
Now add the tens place (4 + 7 + 1 = 12). Write down 2 and carry over 1.
Finally, add the hundreds place (2 + 8 + 1 = 11). Write down 1 and carry over 1.
The answer is 2125.

As you practice adding larger numbers, you'll get faster at it. This skill helps you solve more complex problems in everyday life and in math.
