76 + 26 in a column. Carries are the small circled digits above the columns.

Column by column: 76 + 26

  • Ones: 6 + 6 = 12 — write 2, carry 1.
  • Tens: 7 + 2 + 1 = 10 — write 0, carry 1.
  • Hundreds: the carried 1 — write 1.

76 + 26 = 102

Second check: 102 − 76 = 26

How do you check that 76 + 26 = 102?

Subtract one addend from the sum: 102 − 26 = 76, and 102 − 76 = 26. Getting the other addend back means the sum is right.

How many carries are there in 76 + 26?

2 carries: every time a column added up to 10 or more, its ones digit was written and 1 was carried to the next column on the left.

Is 26 + 76 the same as 76 + 26?

Yes. Addition is commutative, so both give 102; the column looks the same with either number on top.
