Hello,
How the chip 7483 chip work?
i dont understand how it circuit is made using gates??
and how gates are build in chip??

Start by googling "half-adder". It is a purely combinatorial circuit with two inputs, two outputs, and no memory. Once you understand this simple circuit, you con proceed to the slightly more complicated "full adder". This circuit is also combinatorial; it has 3 inputs and two outputs, and it can be cascaded to handle longer word lengths. From this you can see the deleterious effects of carry propagation time, which will lead you to the "carry look-ahead adder" and the "propagate-kill" circuit.

ok, how does computer add in any format like decimal etc large number.
There are two ways.
  1. Build an adder that works directly on the format of interest.
  2. Convert all formats to a standard form, do the addition, convert the standard form back to the desired format.

Computers store numbers in binary format.

Below are the truth table and Kmaps for a 2 bit half adder:

S = Sum, C = Carry
A full adder would have Carry In as a signal.
