If you are using them as paperweights, yes they are interchangeable.
Why don't you stop asking stupid questions?
Look up the datasheets and see if they are even similar.
bcd to 7 segment decoder and driver. I still no sure myself.

Well, there are certainly circuits where you could do a simple
redesign and substitute one for the other, but if you have to ask, you
probably can't do it.

the circuit has 595 but I have 74 in stock.
that is the reason I ask.
You could take the trouble of typing both typenumbers in google...
Then you would find out that the '47 is a BCD to 7-segment decoder and the
'595 a serial-in, serial/parallel-out shift register.
Man, typing this message took me 5 times as long as the search on google for
both IC's
