Strange Arithmetic!

The addition problem below looks wrong, but it's actually correct. The secret is that each alphabet letter actually stands for a digit. The letter O does not necessarily represent the number zero, but we will insist that the leading digit in a multi-digit number should not be zero. (So neither T, F, nor E can be zero.) Discover which letters represent which digits to make the addition correct.

There are actually four correct answers. You need only find one of them, but if you want an extra challenge, try to find them all!

T = 7
H = 4
R = 6
E = 1
F = 2
O = 0
U = 9
L = 5
V = 3
N = 8

So;
___74611
___74611
___+2096
_=151318

Is that one answer? Hard to believe there are three others.

I don't understand the logic behind how the letter equals those numbers. What is the pattern?

I tried but I am ignorant of any method so I was just sorta of trying different numbers at random, trying to use process of elimination, lol. I started off trying e=9 then I realized that E needed to be smaller...but by then I had spent about 20 minutes and was tired of it, hehe.
