The Column Method to solve equations

For maths in my group we have been solving equations using the column method. This is one of the equations that we had to solve, it is 19854+ 13147. The first thing I did was write it in columns. After I did that I calculated the answer for  4 + 7 which is 11 but you can't put 11 there so you put the last number which is 1. Then you carry the first number and put it above the five. Then you make the five into a six then you do 6 + 4 which is 10. but again you can't put both numbers there so you put the 0 there and carry the 1 and put it above the 8 and so on. here is a link to the other equations.  click here.
