Let's break this down. We're going to add 2356 and 3185 together.

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

Step 2: We'll start by adding the digits 5 & 8 in column 2 and get 14.
We'll write down the last digit 4 and carry the 1 to the next column.

Step 3: We'll start by adding the digits 3 & 1 in column 3 and get 5.

Step 4: We'll start by adding the digits 2 & 3 in column 4 and get 5.

So, 2356 + 3185 = 5541.
