We are presented with 538 and 56. Let's work out the sum.

Step 1: We'll start by adding the digits 8 & 6 in column 1 and get 14.
We'll write down the last digit 4 and carry the 1 to the next column.

Step 2: We'll start by adding the digits 3 & 5 in column 2 and get 9.

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

So, 538 + 56 = 594.
