A logic output can drive several inputs only if the exact input currents fit the output limit. Exact arithmetic here means exact results for the stated model inputs; measured inputs still carry uncertainty and significant-figure limits.

Input currents add

Each input load draws 1 ampere in this training model. With 4 loads, the total is 4 amperes.

The total is below the output limit

The output limit is 5 amperes, so this fanout passes. These are exact training currents, not real logic-family specifications.
