Solve Vertical Addition: 597 + 65 Using Column Method

$\begin{aligned} &597 \\ +& \\ &~~65 \\ &\underline{\phantom{776}} & \\ \end{aligned}$

To solve this problem, we'll add the numbers 597 and 65 using vertical addition.

Write the numbers vertically, aligning them by their place values (units, tens, hundreds):

• 597
• + 65

Step 1: Add the units column:

• Add 7 (from 597) and 5 (from 65) to get 12. Write 2 in the units column and carry over 1 to the tens column.

Step 2: Add the tens column:

• Add 9 (from 597), 6 (from 65), and the carried over 1 to get 16. Write 6 in the tens column and carry over 1 to the hundreds column.

Step 3: Add the hundreds column:

• Add 5 (from 597) and the carried over 1 to get 6. Write 6 in the hundreds column.

Therefore, the sum of 597 and 65 is $662$.
