Let's break this down. We're going to add 397 and 165 together.

Step 1: We'll start by adding the digits 7 & 5 in column 1 and get 12.
We'll write down the last digit 2 and carry the 1 to the next column.

Step 2: We'll start by adding the digits 9 & 6 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 3 & 1 in column 3 and get 5.

So, 397 + 165 = 562.
