We've got two numbers: 2597 and 3265. Let's find their sum.

Step 1: We'll start by adding the digits 7 & 5 in column 1 and get 12.
We'll write down the last digit 2 and carry the 1 to the next column.

Step 2: We'll start by adding the digits 9 & 6 in column 2 and get 16.
We'll write down the last digit 6 and carry the 1 to the next column.

Step 3: We'll start by adding the digits 5 & 2 in column 3 and get 8.

Step 4: We'll start by adding the digits 2 & 3 in column 4 and get 5.

So, 2597 + 3265 = 5862.
