Step 2: Add the decomposed numbers
When doing a horizontal addition, the
= (4000 + 1000) + (500 + 400) + (50 + 20) + (3 +
first step is to break the summands and 4)
then continue with the addition chain. = 5000 + 900 + 70 + 7
Let’s use the following addition example: = 5977
4553 + 1424 = ? You can break down only one of the summands,
and add the broken-down numbers to the other
Step 1: Break down the summands
summand.
4553 = 4000 + 500 + 50 + 3
1424 = 1000 + 400 + 20 + 4
