We've got two numbers: 6870 and 9924. Let's find their sum.

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

Step 2: We'll start by adding the digits 7 & 2 in column 2 and get 9.

Step 3: We'll start by adding the digits 8 & 9 in column 3 and get 17.
We'll write down the last digit 7 and carry the 1 to the next column.

Step 4: We'll start by adding the digits 6 & 9 in column 4 and get 16.
We'll write down the last digit 6 and carry the 1 to the next column.

So, 6870 + 9924 = 16794.
