We are presented with 2581 and 3506. Let's work out the 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 8 & 0 in column 2 and get 8.

Step 3: We'll start by adding the digits 5 & 5 in column 3 and get 10.
We'll write down the last digit 0 and carry the 1 to the next column.

Step 4: We'll start by adding the digits 2 & 3 in column 4 and get 6.

So, 2581 + 3506 = 6087.
