Let's solve this addition problem. We have 72 and 597, and we need to add them together.

Step 1: We'll start by adding the digits 2 & 7 in column 1 and get 9.

Step 2: We'll start by adding the digits 7 & 9 in column 2 and get 16.
We'll write down the last digit 6 and carry the 1 to the next column.

Step 3: We'll start by adding the digits 0 & 5 in column 3 and get 6.

So, 72 + 597 = 669.
