Compute the sum of 974 and 593.

Explanation:
Add by place value, using column addition. Ones: 4 + 3 = 7. Tens: 7 + 9 = 16, so write down 6 and carry 1 to the hundreds. Hundreds: 9 + 5 + 1 (carried) = 15, which gives 1 thousand and 5 hundreds. Putting it together from thousands to ones: 1 5 6 7, so the sum is 1567. Quick check: 974 + 593 = 974 + 600 − 7 = 1574 − 7 = 1567.
