OK, let's do this. We've got 1216 and 1642 and we're adding them all together.

Step 1: We'll start by adding the digits 6 & 2 in column 1 and get 8.

Step 2: We'll start by adding the digits 1 & 4 in column 2 and get 5.

Step 3: We'll start by adding the digits 2 & 6 in column 3 and get 8.

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

So, 1216 + 1642 = 2858.
