To add the numbers \(3.2 \times 10^4\) and \(1.95 \times 10^6\), we first need to express both numbers in the same power of 10.

**Step 1: Convert \(3.2 \times 10^4\) to the same power of 10 as \(1.95 \times 10^6\).**

To convert \(3.2 \times 10^4\) to a power of \(10^6\), we can rewrite it as:

\[
3.2 \times 10^4 = 3.2 \times 10^4 \times \frac{10^2}{10^2} = 3.2 \times 10^6 \times 10^{-2} = 0.032 \times 10^6
\]

**Step 2: Now add the two numbers.**

\[
0.032 \times 10^6 + 1.95 \times 10^6 = (0.032 + 1.95) \times 10^6 = 1.982 \times 10^6
\]

**Final Answer:**

\[
3.2 \times 10^4 + 1.95 \times 10^6 = 1.982 \times 10^6
\]
