Let's break this down. We're going to add 652 and 744 together.

Step 1: We'll start by adding the digits 2 & 4 in column 1 and get 6.

Step 2: We'll start by adding the digits 5 & 4 in column 2 and get 9.

Step 3: We'll start by adding the digits 6 & 7 in column 3 and get 13.
We'll write down the last digit 3 and carry the 1 to the next column.

So, 652 + 744 = 1396.
