Okay, we are tasked with adding 852 and 1613. Let's begin!

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

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

Step 3: We'll start by adding the digits 8 & 6 in column 3 and get 14.
We'll write down the last digit 4 and carry the 1 to the next column.

Step 4: We'll start by adding the digits 0 & 1 in column 4 and get 2.

So, 852 + 1613 = 2465.
