63 + 23 = 86

How do you check that 63 + 23 = 86?

Subtract one addend from the sum: 86 − 23 = 63, and 86 − 63 = 23. Getting the other addend back means the sum is right.

How many carries are there in 63 + 23?

None: no column adds up to 10 or more, so every digit of the sum is written straight away.
