Well, one item that will become an issue is that the '47 is a BCD to 7-segment display, and the '83 is a binary adder. If the output from the right '83 is more than 1001 binary (9 decimal) than you will have a blanked display.

One way around that might be to use the two '47's and displays to show the results in octal.

I don't know what you're doing with the AND and OR gates, but it's not quite right, and I don't know why you're using two '83 adders.

OK, so connect the C1 output to some sort of logic output indicator.

But keep in mind, that from the left '83 output if the S3 output is high and either S1 or S2 is high, you won't get a display.
