Step-by-Step Solution

To solve this problem using vertical addition, we'll follow these steps:

Step 1: Align the numbers 24679 and 35813 by their place values. Write the numbers one above the other, ensuring digits align from right (units) to left (ten-thousands).
Step 2: Add each column starting from the rightmost side:

Add the units: $9 + 3 = 12$ . Write 2 in the units place and carry over 1 to the tens.
Add the tens: $7 + 1 = 8$ plus carry 1 gives 9. Write 9 in the tens place.
Add the hundreds: $6 + 8 = 14$ . Write 4 in the hundreds place and carry over 1 to the thousands.
Add the thousands: $4 + 5 = 9$ plus carry 1 gives 10. Write 0 in the thousands place and carry over 1 to the ten-thousands.
Add the ten-thousands: $2 + 3 = 5$ plus carry 1 gives 6. Write 6 in the ten-thousands place.

Therefore, the sum of 24679 and 35813 is $60492$ .
