We have numbers 266 and 1686. Let's start adding them together.

Step 1: We'll start by adding the digits 6 & 6 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 6 & 8 in column 2 and get 15.
We'll write down the last digit 5 and carry the 1 to the next column.

Step 3: We'll start by adding the digits 2 & 6 in column 3 and get 9.

Step 4: We'll start by adding the digits 0 & 1 in column 4 and get 1.

So, 266 + 1686 = 1952.
