Okay, we are tasked with adding 2286 and 325. Let's begin!

Step 1: We'll start by adding the digits 6 & 5 in column 1 and get 11.
We'll write down the last digit 1 and carry the 1 to the next column.

Step 2: We'll start by adding the digits 8 & 2 in column 2 and get 11.
We'll write down the last digit 1 and carry the 1 to the next column.

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

Step 4: We'll start by adding the digits 2 & 0 in column 4 and get 2.
