OK, let's do this. We've got 542 and 2652 and we're adding them all together.

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

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

Step 3: We'll start by adding the digits 5 & 6 in column 3 and get 11.
We'll write down the last digit 1 and carry the 1 to the next column.

Step 4: We'll start by adding the digits 0 & 2 in column 4 and get 3.

So, 542 + 2652 = 3194.
