We have numbers 537 and 1016. Let's start adding them together.

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

Step 2: We'll start by adding the digits 3 & 1 in column 2 and get 5.

Step 3: We'll start by adding the digits 5 & 0 in column 3 and get 5.

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

So, 537 + 1016 = 1553.
