In $14$, the digit $1$ is the value of the tens.&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\" eplus-wrapper\">Add the digits at the tens place. In our example, $8 + 1 = 9$, but we add 1 from&nbsp; under the line. So the answer for the tens is $9$.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full eplus-wrapper\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"620\" height=\"357\" src=\"https:\/\/www.splashlearn.com\/math-vocabulary\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Column-Method-4.png\" alt=\"Column Method of Addition\" class=\"wp-image-9854\" title=\"Column Method of Addition\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.splashlearn.com\/math-vocabulary\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Column-Method-4.png 620w, https:\/\/www.splashlearn.com\/math-vocabulary\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Column-Method-4-300x173.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 620px) 100vw, 620px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"eplus-wrapper wp-block-list\">\n<li class=\" eplus-wrapper\">When two numbers of different digits are added we can place them correctly using place value.

We basically break down the numbers in the expanded form.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper wp-block-paragraph\">For example, the number $782$ can be broken down into: $700 + 80 + 2$<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper wp-block-paragraph\">The expanded method is an addition sum is carried out in the following way:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper wp-block-paragraph\">Suppose, we have to add $47 + 134$<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper wp-block-paragraph\">Firstly, we will expand $47 and 134$.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper wp-block-paragraph\">$47 = 40 and 7 and 134 = 100, 30 and 4$<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper wp-block-paragraph\">Now we sort the numbers into hundreds, tens, and ones and add them in their groups.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"eplus-wrapper wp-block-list\">\n<li class=\" eplus-wrapper\">We will add the digits at ones place.&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper wp-block-paragraph\">In this example, we add $7 + 4 = 11$. We keep 1 at the ones place and take another $1$ to the tens place.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"eplus-wrapper wp-block-list\">\n<li class=\" eplus-wrapper\">We will add the digits at tens place.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper wp-block-paragraph\">In this example, we add $30 + 40 + 10 = 80$<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"eplus-wrapper wp-block-list\">\n<li class=\" eplus-wrapper\">We will add the digits at the hundreds place.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper wp-block-paragraph\">In this example, we add $100 + 0 = 200$<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper wp-block-paragraph\">Now, we add all of our digits together, we get $100 + 80 + 1 = 181$<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper wp-block-paragraph\">Another example is given
