We are presented with 2420 and 3961. Let's work out the sum.

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

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

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

Step 4: We'll start by adding the digits 2 & 3 in column 4 and get 6.

So, 2420 + 3961 = 6381.
