4 + 44 + 444 + 44444 = ?

Options

A. 44369
B. 44936
C. 44639
D. 44396

Answer

To solve the problem \(4 + 44 + 444 + 4444\), we will add these numbers step by step.

### Step 1: Write the numbers clearly
We have the following numbers to add:
- \(4\)
- \(44\)
- \(444\)
- \(4444\)

### Step 2: Align the numbers for addition
Align the numbers by their place values:
```
4444
444
44
4
```

### Step 3: Start adding from the rightmost column
1. **Rightmost column (units place)**:
- \(4 + 4 + 4 + 4 = 16\)
- Write down \(6\) and carry over \(1\).

2. **Next column (tens place)**:
- \(4 + 4 + 4 + 0 + 1 (carry) = 13\)
- Write down \(3\) and carry over \(1\).

3. **Next column (hundreds place)**:
- \(4 + 4 + 0 + 0 + 1 (carry) = 9\)
- Write down \(9\) (no carry).

4. **Next column (thousands place)**:
- \(4 + 0 + 0 + 0 = 4\)
- Write down \(4\) (no carry).

### Step 4: Combine the results
Now we combine all the digits we wrote down:
- From the thousands place: \(4\)
- From the hundreds place: \(9\)
- From the tens place: \(3\)
- From the units place: \(6\)

So, the final result is \(4936\).

### Final Answer:
The sum \(4 + 44 + 444 + 4444 = 4936\).
