We have numbers 3100 and 178. Let's start adding them together.

Step 1: We'll start by adding the digits 0 & 8 in column 1 and get 8.

Step 2: We'll start by adding the digits 0 & 7 in column 2 and get 7.

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

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

So, 3100 + 178 = 3278.
