Here is how LSD radix sort would process the numbers step by step, using base 10 and stable counting sorts by each digit from least significant to most significant.

Initial sequence: 42, 88, 4, 889, 9, 72, 4561, 34

First pass (units digit): sort by the ones place (0-9), keeping the relative order of numbers with the same units digit.
- 42 -> 2
- 88 -> 8
- 4 -> 4
- 889 -> 9
- 9 -> 9
- 72 -> 2
- 4561 -> 1
- 34 -> 4
Grouping by units digit while preserving order within each group yields: 4561 (1), 42 then 72 (2), 4 then 34 (4), 88 (8), 889 then 9 (9).
Result after pass 1: 4561, 42, 72, 4, 34, 88, 889, 9

Second pass (tens digit): sort by the tens place, using 0 for numbers with no tens, preserving order within equal tens digits.
- 4561 -> tens = 6
- 42 -> tens = 4
- 72 -> tens = 7
- 4 -> tens = 0
- 34 -> tens = 3
- 88 -> tens = 8
- 889 -> tens = 8
- 9 -> tens = 0
Grouping by tens digit: 0: 4, 9; 3: 34; 4: 42; 6: 4561; 7: 72; 8: 88, 889.
Result after pass 2: 4, 9, 34, 42, 4561, 72, 88, 889

Third pass (hundreds digit): sort by the hundreds place (0 for numbers with fewer than 3 digits).
- 4 -> hundreds = 0
- 9 -> hundreds = 0
- 34 -> hundreds = 0
- 42 -> hundreds = 0
- 4561 -> hundreds = 5
- 72 -> hundreds = 0
- 88 -> hundreds = 0
- 889 -> hundreds = 8
Grouping by hundreds digit: 0: 4, 9, 34, 42, 72, 88; 5: 4561; 8: 889.
Result after pass 3: 4, 9, 34, 42, 72, 88, 4561, 889

Fourth pass (thousands digit): sort by the thousands place (0 for numbers with fewer than 4 digits).
- 4, 9, 34, 42, 72, 88, 889 -> thousands = 0
- 4561 -> thousands = 4
Grouping: 0: 4, 9, 34, 42, 72, 88, 889; 4: 4561.
Result after pass 4: 4, 9, 34, 42, 72, 88, 889, 4561

Since all numbers are now in their final increasing order, the LSD radix sort yields the sequence above when read left to right.
