We've got two numbers: 961 and 536. Let's find their sum.

Step 1: We'll start by adding the digits 1 & 6 in column 1 and get 7.

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

Step 3: We'll start by adding the digits 9 & 5 in column 3 and get 14.
We'll write down the last digit 4 and carry the 1 to the next column.

So, 961 + 536 = 1497.
