We have numbers 986 and 2622. Let's start adding them 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 8 & 2 in column 2 and get 10.
We'll write down the last digit 0 and carry the 1 to the next column.

Step 3: We'll start by adding the digits 9 & 6 in column 3 and get 16.
We'll write down the last digit 6 and carry the 1 to the next column.

Step 4: We'll start by adding the digits 0 & 2 in column 4 and get 3.

So, 986 + 2622 = 3608.
