Best Answer

When using a common cathode 7-segment display with a 7447 the readout is inverted. Instead of 1000 resulting in an 8, you will see all segments will be off. Since a common cathode display pulls its power from the driving IC chip you could either use an inverter on each input segment or use each 7447 output to forward bias a transistor (turn it on) allowing current draw to come directly from Vcc instead of risking burning out your chip.

Note: the series limiting resistors will still be necessary.
