This is done to represent the two natures of Christ - divine and human. During early church history, there were two heresies that arose. One claiming that Jesus was fully divine masquerading as a human, and another claiming that He was fully human and not really divine. Both heresies were fought by the Church and an official ruling was made that stated that Jesus was both human and divine. This teaching has been carried forth in art by Jesus holding up two fingers to symbolize his two natures. It is also a traditional sign of blessing. It is sacred Roman blessing Jesus=Caesar. Caesar was also divine.

How does addition work?
Addition is like counting on your fingers. If you hold up two fingers on you hand, then you put up two more fingers, you don't say I have 2 fingers up and now i put up two more so i have two fingers up doubled, you say I have four fingers up. Like adding, counting on your fingers is exactly the same. For instance. two plus two if four so on your fingers you can put up two fingers and then put up two more and have four. I hope I helped you!
