We have numbers 1268 and 3605. Let's start adding them together.

Step 1: We'll start by adding the digits 8 & 5 in column 1 and get 13.
We'll write down the last digit 3 and carry the 1 to the next column.

Step 2: We'll start by adding the digits 6 & 0 in column 2 and get 7.

Step 3: We'll start by adding the digits 2 & 6 in column 3 and get 8.

Step 4: We'll start by adding the digits 1 & 3 in column 4 and get 4.

So, 1268 + 3605 = 4873.
