We've got two numbers: 2597 and 3853. Let's find their sum.

Step 1: We'll start by adding the digits 7 & 3 in column 1 and get 10.
We'll write down the last digit 0 and carry the 1 to the next column.

Step 2: We'll start by adding the digits 9 & 5 in column 2 and get 15.
We'll write down the last digit 5 and carry the 1 to the next column.

Step 3: We'll start by adding the digits 5 & 8 in column 3 and get 14.
We'll write down the last digit 4 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, 2597 + 3853 = 6450.
