OK, let's do this. We've got 812 and 977 and we're adding them all together.

Step 1: We'll start by adding the digits 2 & 7 in column 1 and get 9.

Step 2: We'll start by adding the digits 1 & 7 in column 2 and get 8.

Step 3: We'll start by adding the digits 8 & 9 in column 3 and get 17.
We'll write down the last digit 7 and carry the 1 to the next column.

So, 812 + 977 = 1789.
