Here we will show you step-by-step how to calculate 21 plus 4 (21 + 4) using the Long Addition Method. We start by setting up our math problem as follows:
| 2 | 1 | |||||||
| + | 0 | 4 | ||||||
The next step is to add the ones digits together (1 + 4 = 5) like this:
| 2 | 1 | |||||||
| + | 0 | 4 | ||||||

| 2 | 1 | |||||||
| + | 0 | 4 | ||||||
| 2 | 5 |
And that is how you solve 21 plus 4 using the Long Addition Method! The answer is displayed mathematically below:
