We are presented with 1603 and 3531. Let's work out the sum.

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

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

Step 3: We'll start by adding the digits 6 & 5 in column 3 and get 11.
We'll write down the last digit 1 and carry the 1 to the next column.

Step 4: We'll start by adding the digits 1 & 3 in column 4 and get 5.

So, 1603 + 3531 = 5134.
