OK, let's do this. We've got 24 and 1940 and we're adding them all together.

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

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

Step 3: We'll start by adding the digits 0 & 9 in column 3 and get 9.

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

So, 24 + 1940 = 1964.
