We can convert both numbers to base 10, add them up, and convert them back. 

First, let's convert the two. We have

(357)8=(3×82)+(5×81)+(7×80)=(239)10

(501)8=(5×82)+(0×81)+(1×80)=(321)10

 

Adding our two results up, we get the sum

321+239=560

 

Now, we must convert this into base 8 again. 

 

We get 56010=10608

 

So our final answer is 1060. 

 

Thanks! :)
