You've got a BCD counter feeding a display and need something that actually drives the segments without you wiring up a tangle of transistors. The 74LS47 takes your 4-bit BCD input and lights the right segments on a common-anode 7-segment display. Open-collector outputs mean you set the current limit with a single pull-up resistor. One chip, one clean connection to your display. Sorted
