84 705 1792 Sum.

ANALYSIS.-Arranging the numbers as before, begin at the right hand and add the column of units; thus, 5, 9, 15, 22 units, equal to 2 tens and 2 units. Write the 2 units in the units' place, and reserve the 2 tens to add to the next column. Next, adding the 2 tens reserved, to the column of tens, say, 2, 10, 13, 19 tens, equal to 1 hundred and 9 tens. Write the 9 tens in the tens' place,

and reserve the 1 hundred to add to the next column.

Lastly, adding the 1 hundred reserved, say 1, 8, 13, 17 hundreds, equal to 1 thousand, and 7 hundreds, which write in hundreds' and thousands' places. Hence the sum is 1792.

In like manner, copy, add, and prove,

PROOF.-Add each column in the reverse direction. the results agree, the work is probably correct.
