BCD (Binary Coded Decimal) addition is carried out in the following steps:

1. **Step 1:** Start by adding the least significant digits of the two BCD numbers, just like in binary addition.

2. **Step 2:** If the sum obtained in step 1 is less than or equal to 9, move to the next pair of digits.

3. **Step 3:** If the sum obtained in step 1 is greater than 9, add 6 (0110 in binary) to the sum. This is because in BCD, a digit can't be greater than 9.

4. **Step 4:** If a carry is generated from the addition in step 1, add this carry to the next pair of digits along with 6.

5. **Step 5:** Repeat steps 1-4 for the remaining pairs of digits.

6. **Step 6:** The final result is the BCD sum of the two numbers.

Remember, BCD is a class of binary encodings of decimal numbers where each decimal digit is represented by a fixed number of bits, usually four or eight.
