pass numbers to template from your controller.

res.render('index', { result: {n1:1,n2:2} });

and then in ejs template just like javascript

<%= n1+ n2 %>

This is done by 

<%= num1 + num2 %>

What you are doing is only displaying the elements because when you have '<%=' this means to display this item. Another way to do this can be.

// Add the numbers
<% var addedNumber = num1 + num2; %>
//Then display the added numbers
<%= addedNumber %>
