We'll write down the last digit 6 and carry the 1 to the next column.

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

Step 3: We'll start by adding the digits 2 & 8 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 1 & 1 in column 4 and get 3.
