Okay, we are tasked with adding 2014 and 4009. Let's begin!

Step 1: We'll start by adding the digits 4 & 9 in column 1 and get 13.
We'll write down the last digit 3 and carry the 1 to the next column.

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

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

Step 4: We'll start by adding the digits 2 & 4 in column 4 and get 6.

So, 2014 + 4009 = 6023.
