Let's solve this addition problem. We have 2481 and 6240, and we need to add them together.

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

Step 2: We'll start by adding the digits 8 & 4 in column 2 and get 12.
We'll write down the last digit 2 and carry the 1 to the next column.

Step 3: We'll start by adding the digits 4 & 2 in column 3 and get 7.

Step 4: We'll start by adding the digits 2 & 6 in column 4 and get 8.

So, 2481 + 6240 = 8721.
